Public bug reported:
Since part of the lirc code made it into the kernel most Remote Controls
show up as /dev/input/ devices. The remote controls have some strange
buttons and evdev has a remap function that allows us to remap those
events to events that X understands. This use to work prior to the load
bug (Bug 931397) with the following config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "RF remote"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/dvb-ir"
Option "event_key_remap" "28=36 398=27 401=25 352=36 167=27 174=9
139=58 119=33"
EndSection
In my case /dev/input/dvb-ir is a symlink to /dev/input/event5. The
symlink is managed by udev.
This method is also suggested by people with multi-multi button mice.
Thanks !
