Lirc drives me nuts and I'd rather not use it at all. :) On my main Freevo box running 2.0 I use DirectFB for input, but used to use the event device plugin before that. On one box here I am forced to use lirc since that is the only thing that supports my serial IR receiver. Ever since Gerd Knorr et al added remotes to the event device layer I just do not see the point of lirc. From then on I think the lirc drivers should have been ported to the kernel. At that time lirc was in an aweful state. Instead of things going into the kernel, development on lirc continued and I guess got a little better (correct me if I'm wrong). Anyhow, it's nice to have the choice of using the event device. Maybe once 2.0 is a bit better you can improve the evdev input plugin there. -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
