Well, I want to say some more about using a remote control with the
NEWSTRUCT driver.
Lirc is not used any more by the NEWSTRUCT driver, instead there
are now input events generated, that fall out of /dev/input/eventX.
A keymap for the remote control has to be loaded.
It can be tested with evtest.
More is written in the README in DVB/apps/av7110_loadkeys/.
But as long as there is no input modul for VDR, IR receivers
connected to the DVBs card or CI can't be used.
