I am in process of designing a multimedia station using Linux ( latest kernel 2.5.8, due to bttv issues ). The station will be controlled by a remote control which is chosen for it's functionality ( wincinema from Intervideo ) which appears to X as a combined mouse pointer and keyboard. I have compiled the kernel with and without the HIDBP modules, just to verify the behavior. Version of X is 4.1.0
The end user experience is a multimedia presentation based on xawtv for video, mplayer for vcd and dvd and one other application for playing mp3. There are separate developments for the GUI for each, but it will all be working in the X root window. Note that the system already has a keyboard attached for sysadmin tasks. The system only has a TV attached, no monitor. Here's my challenge: I need to modify lirc to get the input from this particular remote control, reading from a specific /dev/usb/xyz entry. In addition, I will need to prevent the kernel from processing the controller as a keyboard, but rather leave it up to lirc to process the incoming entries. creating a patch for lirc is within my capabilities ( yeah, right ), but I am not to confident on the driver / kernel modifications. Your comments will be greatly appreciated, I'm sure :) Thank you.
