When liblirc_client uses the same interface of lircd, then I don't think that it will help. > Also, somewhat off topic: when running powertop[1] on my VDR box, I see lircd > waking up the CPU from idle about 1000 times a second while VDR is connected > to it: > > Top causes for wakeups: > 54.3% (988.1) lircd : schedule_timeout (process_timeout) > 28.5% (518.4) vdr : futex_wait (hrtimer_wakeup) > [...] > > I already tried adding some cCondWait::SleepMs's to VDR's lirc action loop > but > it didn't seem to have any effect. Any ideas whether this is something that > VDR could do anything about, or if it's a LIRC internal thing? Well VDR's lirc action loop uses a timeout only when it needs to generate a keyup event after a key repeat event. Otherwise it blocks in cFile::FileReady's select() until a button gets pressed on the remote. Try running irw instead of VDR and check powertop again. Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.
