Using /dev/input/event*

[Andrew O. <ao...@gm...>]

I've been using mode2 to get codes from LIRC.  Keeping up with things, I'm
trying to figure out how to use the /dev/input/event* nodes.  I can figure
this out eventually but it's getting in the way of the project at hand.  Can
someone give me a hint on how to use the new (not so new i guess) way of
using LIRC?
