Will Saxon Randal Hopper (author of FXTV) has an X10 Remote. He reads this list too, so should respond. > Incidentally, the reason I purchased the mouse remote is because the > remote that came with my card (a phoebe 'tv master,' aka dynalink/askey > magic tview) is unsupported.

The IR on some cards plugs into the GPIO port. However, on Hauppauge cards and on PixelView cards, the IR receiver is actually wired to the i2c bus (the 2 wire serial bus which joins the tuner and MSP34xx stereo audio or TDA xxxx audio devices to the bt848/878) These IR receivers we support in FXTV 1.02 I've worked with the linux IR driver writers a few times. (I dontated all my Hauppauge code to them) This linux pages shows they have had no luck on your Askey/Dynalink card either http://fsinfo.cs.uni-sb.de/~columbus/lirc/tv_cards.html However, it may be worth contacting them and seeing what we can do together. Their pages may be old, or they may just need people with the hardware. Do not worry about BSD vrs GPL licence. You are free to work on finding the specification and protocols together, you then just need to write your own code, (or agree to share it under each licence) Roger -- Roger Hardiman Strathclyde Uni Telepresence Research Group, Glasgow, Scotland. http://www.telepresence.strath.ac.uk 0141 548 2897 roger@cs.strath.ac.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
