(kworld 110) List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: video4linux-list-bounces@redhat.com Errors-To: video4linux-list-bounces@redhat.com List-ID: Thank you Dwaine for posting this kworld 110 patch to the v4l software. So what you are indicating is that this patch, that has been around going on 2 years, is still not part of the v4l distribution? Why? (I have a feeling I should not direct this question to Dwaine as much as toward those controlling the v4l project.) And if v4l is not going to support the IR feature of tuner cards... well... is there a way to easily disable the IR part of v4l? I mean, from what I can tell, v4l "gets in the way" of lirc making it impossible for lirc to access the IR hardware. Dwaine, I just tried the patch on a version of v4l I pulled some time ago (about 8 months). It looks like more the half the "hunks" fail. Guess I'll have to do some hand merging if I want this to be successful. I'll work on this a bit more. But now I'm wondering if this is what people actually do? I mean, is it worth anyone's time to keep fixing v4l (patching it) each time the old v4l gets over-written by a system update? I'm guessing - but are most people giving up on their tuner's IR port and using dedicated IR / USB dongles instead? -thanks again Dwaine Dwaine Garden VE3GIF wrote: > Here is the original patch that I had.
