Kernel support for infrared receiversKernel support for infrared receiversPosted Dec 2, 2009 19:34 UTC (Wed) by fb (subscriber, #53265)Parent article: Kernel support for infrared receivers
Having gone through the adventure of configuring LIRC for a number of applications, I very much welcome its inclusion in the kernel, and hopefully a standardization of its input codes.
Having to manually configure what each button will do for each application is very annoying, and it seems like a waste. Specially when you compare with multimedia keyboards that will send all sorts of standard X codes that all applications accept, and know how to act upon.

I don't think that any of these plans save you. Sure you have a standard receiver that can push events to evdev, but there are still 5 bazillion remotes. You could even have two remotes that same the same code for different events. I get the impression that evdev would be sending the ir code.
