How can we enhance it to not need new subsystem to handle such devices? We already have in-kernel support for some of the devices you are adding (ATI remotes, xbox, etc) so the situation is not ideal. Could we try to work it in ininput core and maybe provide LIRC device access through an input handler implementation so that applications do not have to implement 2 types of interfaces? -- Dmitry -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
