Hi,

I'm very interested in making IR-remote work, as well as in VFD to show information. I'm rather new with linux, could you please explain how to install/apply your driver. I'm using Ubuntu 7.10.

Thanx in advance

Oleg

You just need to modify setup.data. autogen.sh will create everything  
requried.

Some comments regarding implementation:

- mplay_deinit: please reset hw.fd to -1

- mplay_rec: if the read fails, call mplay_deinit to close the device.  
This will prevent endless looping when the device is disconnected.

- please don't use C++ comments

- intendation should be 8

- mplay_decode: the interface has changed in latest CVS. Please update  
your code

Please attach your patch as a file next time instead of sending it  
inline in the message.

Christoph
