You can. However, the event direction depends on the event type: EV_KEY always goes from device to handler, EV_LED goes both ways. You'd have a new event type for sending out IR events: This is different from pressing a key. But it's trivial to add. -- Vojtech Pavlik Director SuSE Labs ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
