Very cool. Though note that the latest lirc_mceusb is quite heavily modified from what Jon had initially ported, and I still have a few outstanding enhancements to make, such as auto-detecting xmit mask to eliminate the crude inverted mask list and support for the mce IR keyboard/mouse, though that'll probably be trivial once RC5 and RC6 in-kernel decoders are in place. I'd intended to start with porting the imon driver I'm working on over to this new infra (onboard hardware decoder, should be rather easy to port), and then hop over to the mceusb driver, but if you beat me to it, I've got no problem with you doing it instead. :) >> Cooler if it works both through LIRC and with an internal protocol >> decoder.

Good to see we've got some major momentum going now, just need to get off my butt and do some more work on it myself... --=20 Jarod Wilson jarod@wilsonet.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
