[linux-dvb] Using DVB Remote in Gnome

[m-lists at the-moon.net (Richard Wall)]

I have a Hauppauge Nova-T 9002 in a machine running Ubuntu Dapper Linux 
and want to map remote key presses to Gnome Keyboard Shortcuts. Eg i 
would like map the "Music" key to "Launch Music Player". Trouble is that 
many of the keys on the remote don't seem to be recognised by Gnome / X.

I have a very incomplete understanding of how Linux handles input 
devices, but I have managed to do some tests with evtest and xev
  * evtest correctly recognises all keys
  * xev doesn't give output for the following keys: Go, TV, Videos, 
Music, Pictures, Guide, Radio, Prev.Ch, *, #, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue.

Then I notice that the buttons that don't work, are all the high keycodes...

...does anyone have any experience of this, and perhaps know how to make 
X / Gnome recognise those high keycodes?

Thanks
