I have a USB infra-red which presents itself to the system as a keyboard

Connecting everything up gives me some control over mythtv from the

problem is in knowing how to make setkeycodes work with this remote. I
can change the keyboard mappings on the PS/2 connected keyboard but
nothing I do seems to affect the remote.
Can anyone give me a pointer? Has anyone already solved this particular
problem?

I've written a binary patch which changes the keymaping for usb keyboards
so the TwinHan VisionPlus DVB-T card remote better matches MythTV.

Michael's solution of keymapping is fine if the codes generated by the
remote match existing keycodes known to Myth (or rather,QT I believe).
The Twinhan doesn't. I presume that's why you did your patch Paul. I
did come accross that in my googling, but I stumbled when I found I did
not have a usbhid module:
$ ls /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1372_FC3/kernel/drivers/usb/input/
aiptek.ko kbtab.ko powermate.ko wacom.ko
ati_remote.ko mtouchusb.ko touchkitusb.ko xpad.ko
Rick
hidusb.ko must have been compiled into the kernel. You could change the
kernel source code and recompile. Or try changing the path in my code to
point to your kernel and see if it can replace the table.
David Watkins mentioned that you can use LIRC to change the keys of the
remote. I think he was referring to a ATI remote which uses the
ati_remote.ko kernel module. LIRC has its own kernel module for that remote.
I'm not sure you can use LIRC with a usbhid device that thinks it is a
keyboard.

Best of Luck,

I'll give that a go.
I see differing views as to whether lirc will work with a keyboard. I
tried it and didn't make a lot of progress ..... another reason for
being where I am now!
