Hi.
As I understand, this hardware returns sampled IR signal, so it can be used with any remote, right?
Then why not to implement lirc driver?
This driver as I understand is a driver for single remote shipped with the notebook.
I have recently wrote a lirc driver for my receiver, a lirc driver. Now I can use all my remotes.
And no, I don't need any software support for that. LIRC happily forwards all events via uinput to kernel, so I use it a an ordinary keyboard.
Best regards, Maxim Levitsky
