Hi all, I'm having a problem with my Kodi system. Unfortunately I don't use
the Kodi system very often (the system also runs as a general server on my
network so most of my work on it is done through ssh) so I don't know
exactly when this happened, but it would have been in the last couple of
months.

The problem is that the iMON IR remote stopped working at some point. I
have an Antec Fusion Remote Black case that uses an iMON LCD and IR
receiver. This was working fine with evdev/X/Kodi but at some point stopped
working, and since I haven't used the Kodi interface for a few months I
don't know exactly what broke it.

It looks like the most interesting information comes from Xorg.0.log:

...
[217569.500] (II) config/udev: Adding input device iMON Remote (15c2:ffdc)

keyboard catchall"

0xffdc
[217569.500] (WW) evdev: iMON Remote (15c2:ffdc): Don't know how to use
device
[217569.600] (EE) PreInit returned 8 for "iMON Remote (15c2:ffdc)"
[217569.600] (II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
...

I've tried googling "evdev Don't know how to use device" but haven't found
anything relevant. Does anyone have any clues about what I could be
missing? It looks like xf86-input-evdev 2.10.5 went stable back in March
2017, and I'm pretty sure that the remote was working after that.
