I thought I remembered something about a userspace driver... Don't worry about whether or not its released in an lirc tarball though. The code headed to the kernel is cvs head based already. I take it the userspace driver is the commandir.{c,h} bits vs. the old lirc_cmdir.{c,h} bits being the old driver. D'oh. Its been sitting right under my nose... So yeah, we'll drop the lirc_cmdir bits, and roll with just the commandir bits. Side bar: wish I'd had more time to read over *all* the code, rather than focusing so much on just the checkpatch cleanups, but I think it was better to get this out here and get some momentum built up anyhow... > Demo hardware is available for testing if anyone wants. That would be most excellent. I'd definitely love to get some, will drop you a line off-list. > On Thu, 2008-09-11 at 20:24 +0200, Christoph Bartelmus wrote: > > Hi, > > > > there is a user-space driver that is going to replace the kernel driver > > for the CommandIR driver.
