Re: glcdlib and keypad?

Hi,

I would say that since the "USB infrared Toy" from dangerousprototypes
is having a "IRman-compatible mode" you may have luck with irman...

IRman support in lcdproc is a shortcut if you do not want Lirc, use
only LCDproc and have a real IRman.

For all other purpose, I would suggest trying the lirc module of LCDproc.

And that is exactly what the doc say (
http://lcdproc.sourceforge.net/docs/current-user.html#irman-howto ) :
Tip - If you have trouble using the irman driver, you might try the
lirc driver. lirc supports IrMan as well.

Disclaimer: I might be one of the contributor of IRman for LCDproc
module and/our Lirc LCDproc module. But that was so long ago that I
have no clue anymore.

I hope it help.
