two scan codes per button?

[Jeff S. <jef...@ya...>]

Ok I just completely remaped my hauppauge remote and I
noticed some interesting things there are two scan
codes for each button if you hold it down you get one
scan code if you press it you get one one press and a
second on the second press. I then started mapping my
philips remote and am finding similar findings which
leads me to believe there are 2 scancodes for every
button on every remote that way it is easier to tell
if you pressed the button or are holding it down. Has
anyone else noticed this or can confirm? im finding it
a little difficult using lirc but im learning fast I
use irrecord to create a list with all the scancodes
that I can use as /etc/lircd.conf and I run lircd and
use irw to confirm my settings on the buttons. I want
to try and help out with documentation mostly because
I only learned through lots of searching and
experimenting on how to use lirc. I still have yet to
figure out how to use lircm. Maybe lircm could be
moved to a secondary program it would be nice if I
could use a program like so "mousemove <degree 0-359>
<speed 0-100>" and have lirc send it through to that
program. It would be useful for other things then ;-)
I would like to get the joystick working in X again.
also I would like it if with lircexec or maybe
something else in lircrc I could send out to a program
the button name and the amount held like the irw
program shows how long its been being pressed.

Thanks for the great project guys
Oh and as I mentioned before have a look at
kbde.sf.net its a great complimetary project its what
makes me say having mousemove as a seperate project.
