Description Doug McMillan 2007-05-16 03:47:42 UTC
Unless I am totally missing something the current ebuild is only assigning the device /dev/lic/#. The v4l specs that are going into the newer kernels and the lirc sites state that lirc will accept input layer through the event handler.

If the driver is the input layer (ie. dev/input) the device should be /dev/input/event#. 


Parameter            setting 1            seting 2    
LIRCD_DRIVER     devinput                 hauppauge        
LIRCD_DEVICE    /dev/input/event0         /dev/lirc/0

How much of an issue would it be to add a condition to the ebuild to default
to input/event for devinput and /dev/lirc/0 for standard cards??


Reproducible: Always
