Thanks for your help so far..

As part of dmesg, I get the following only:

usbcore: registered new driver appleir
drivers/usb/input/appleir.c: v1.1:USB Apple MacMini IR Receiver driver

(so no input/class listing)


Applier module is loaded, but alas, no input device exists.. Is there
anything else I'm missing?

I'm definitely using the patches, and EVDEV has been built into the kernel
but it seems the device is not being recognised. Is it possible I have a
slightly different hardware version or something?

I've just rebuilt my kernel again with a fresh load of patches, and am still
a bit confused as to why its not working!

Thanks
Martin

There is no Apple remote. Is the kernel patched with ir.patch? Is the
appleir driver loaded? If not, you should patch the kernel and rebuild
with CONFIG_USB_APPLEIR=m in the kernel config and load the module with
modprobe appleir. After this, I get these messages in the kernel log:

input: Apple Mac mini infrared remote control driver as /class/input/input7
usbcore: registered new driver appleir
drivers/usb/input/appleir.c: v1.1:USB Apple MacMini IR Receiver driver

I can see the remote in lsinput:

/dev/input/event2
   bustype : BUS_USB
   vendor  : 0x5ac
   product : 0x8240
   version : 272
   name    : "Apple Mac mini infrared remote c"
   phys    : "/input0"
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_REP
