Hi.

=20

I have successfully modified the LCDproc IMON driver to use the
OSX/Darwin IOKit USB interface  (well it is displaying what is sent to
it!). I worked out what was needed from the lirc_imon driver with
regards to data format etc.

=20

It seems to work and be pretty stable (no crashes in over 24 hours
running LCDd+lcdproc) but I was wondering if there was anyone that has
an IMON device and a Machine running OS X 10.4.x (whether a real mac or
a hackintosh!!) that can test the driver with other hardware. I am
currently using the VFD from an Antec HTPC case and it seems to work
fine as far as I can tell . I am currently working on getting + and -
from the volume knob as well.

=20

A couple of questions, I have #ifdef DARWIN for all of my changes to the
imon.c file but I also need to add " LDFLAGS =3D  -framework
CoreFoundation -framework IOKit" to the Makefile in the server directory
and I cannot quite work out how to do it within the configure
architecture.=20

=20

What are peoples thoughts about linking LCDd with the IOKit/Core
frameworks? I couldn't think of another way to do it....

=20

If anybody would like to take a look at my changes (potentially with a
view to adding them to CVS) please let me know.

Cheers
