I actually forgot I posted this, was rather sleepy. I also had to fight |
| 10 |
udev changing sda to sdf for no damn good reason, wound up having to use |
| 11 |
UUIDs (which I've never had to use before.) |

The hardware is built into the htpc case and unless it stops working I |
| 14 |
won't replace it - I don't want to have a dongle sitting off to the side. |

Primarily though, I use irexec to do other things and evdev (or the |
| 17 |
kernel's map to keypresses) doesn't appear to offer an equivalent. |

As one example, the power key doesn't do squat with the |
| 20 |
evdev/ir-keytable, I've tried extensively to get it to work. It works to |
| 21 |
power it up if the machine is shut down, but neither xbmc or mythtv will |
| 22 |
do anything with the power keystroke to shut it down. After a couple of |
| 23 |
days messing around trying to get it to work, I set up irexec and it |
| 24 |
worked immediately - and it's been that way for many years. |
