Pair it with the bluetooth-wizard and you can be on your way.

Cheers

but when i run bluetooth-wizard nothing is shown

In great excitement I rushed out and bought one of these :) A Bluetooth remote - brilliant! I might even think about buying a Playstation 3 to go with it :) Infrared is for suckers...

In order to get it into pairing mode (and thus be able to see it from bluetooth-wizard) it looks like you need to press *AND HOLD* the "Enter" and "Start" buttons at the same time (for something like one second). The Fedora Wiki page is lamely unclear about that.

Sadly I can't pair with it yet, pairing fails - for reasons I'll try and figure out later...

i did know that thanks

why is this so difficult?

i suspect all these suboptimal solutions like bdremoted are around because people having been banging there head against a brick wall have mostly given up on doing things the "correct" way and resort to "anything that will work"

i really didn't want to do this as my focus was on mythtv, but i will have to start hacking the bluetooth system (just like i had to do with lirc before) seems kind of crazy that all the snippets of bluetooth documentation is spread all over the place and not on the bluez.org site. oh well.
