It all but eliminates the need for lirc, which in my opinion is a
good thing. No worrying about having lirc support compiled into
other packages. e.g; Mplayer, xine, zsnes, and what ever other
add-ons you might use.
Yeah, instead, you can worry about remapping the keys for MPlayer,
xine, zsnes, MythTV, and ... (Just the reason why I use LIRC with my
ATI Remote Wonder--for which there is also a kernel keyboard driver.)
I've just not had very good luck with lirc, most of the problems stem
from focus issues, who gets the key press.
So, either you didn't worry enough about having LIRC support compiled
into other packages or you just never re-configured your ~/.lircrc for
"native LIRC" support. ;)
The focus issues are /only/ possible when using irxevent. If using
"native" LIRC support (i.e. "prog = mythtv" instead of "prog =
irxevent"), focus can never an issue because LIRC transmits the "config"
string to /all/ registered clients. LIRC broadcasts the strings and
it's up to the application to determine if it should react to the
keypress or not.
