Hauppauge WinTV MiniStick IR in 2.6.36 - [PATCH]

[Richard Zidlicky]

Hi,

for some users (thats at least one user in Italy and me) the following is required:

What is the way to achieve the effect without recompiling the kernel - is there any?
Could we combine the keymaps - as I understand it all RC5 maps could be combined into
one huge map without any problems except memory usage?

On Ubuntu kernel list Chao Zhang asked the same question.

thanks, personally I have no problem with recompiling the kernel and doing it anyways
- I was hoping the new IR framework has something equivalent to a loadkeys. Maybe even 
loadkeys would work? Not tried yet and it certainly would require some work to define
the keymaps and such.

In any case for the average user there must be something better than patching the kernel.

You apparently can use the keytable program to twiddle sysfs nodes or
the /dev/input nodes, I think:

http://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git?a=tree;f=utils/keytable;h=e599a8b5288517fc7fe58d96f44f28030b04afbc;hb=HEAD

thanks, that should do the trick. 

In addition I am wondering if the maps of the two remotes that apparently get 
bundled with the MiniStick should not be merged into one map in the kernel sources 
so the most common cases are covered?

I have a certain case where I would like the maps of two bundled remotes
both to be loaded - one an RC-5 and one an RC-6 - for a receiver on the
HVR-1850 and friends.

I recall there's something in the works about allowing multiple input
devices per remote control receiver.  (I haven't been paying as much
attention as I should.) So maybe one day...

Regards,
Andy

looks a bit more twisted. In the case of the siano reciever it should be 
simpler. Apparently it has been bundled with 2 different rc5 type remotes
and normal users will have either one of them. So technically it is very 
easy to provide a table that serves both cases.
