[MPlayer-users] detecting lirc in configure

[Tibor Kiss]

Since several weeks I have been using mplayer with remote-commander. Moreover 
I extended (actually just for me) the lirc_cmd structure initialization in 
lirc_mp.c . Everything was just fine.

Not so far I bought a second monitor for my matrox g450 (one of 21" monitor, 
especially for mplayer :) ). I thought it would be nice to set up mga 
accelerated frame buffer in my Mandrake 8.1. I updated the kernel to the 
latest (4.1.17....mdk cooker), and now I have devfs mounted on. 

Since I have devfs, my handy created device nodes disappear after reboot, 
even if it is saved in /lib/dev-state

Here I found the single example about how to write something in devfsd.conf.
I read the complete documentation from 
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~grooch/linux/devfs.html but even now I don't 
understand the semantics of what was wrote in devfsd.conf below.
Could someone explain? Or write some advice how to add lirc, mga_vid devices 
into devfsd.conf?

Thanks in advance..
