I know that lots of peoples here knows this way to configure remote to just use it as keyboard-extensions, I just writed down a (temporary) workaround for distros in which lirc is boring and vdr-plugin is not so obvious (as my gentoo). Is written for cinergyT2 but also can be adapted to any remote which codes are in media/dvb/ttpci/av_7110_ir.c,media/video/cx88/cx88-input.c, or media/dvb/dibusb/dvb-dibusb-remote.c Is at early stage and temporary, also should be suitable for any distro (can't be sure). Requires kernel hacking cause xkb driver supports only 255 keys (hope in nexts releases...) http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-374060-highlight-.html CU
