You might need xmodmap mappings. You can check them xev. I don't know much about this, I'm afraid. What linux distribution, version and keyboard layout are you using? I could try and see if I can reproduce/fix this. > I wanted to mention that the IR protocol is still showing as unknown. > Is there anything that can be done to sort that out? It would be nice if that could be sorted out, although that would be a separate patch. So all we know right now is what scancode the IR receiver hardware produces but we have no idea what IR protocol is being used. In order to figure this out we need a recording of the IR the remote sends, for which a different IR receiver is needed. Neither your imon nor your dvb_usb_af9035 can do this, something like a mce usb IR receiver would be best. Do you have access to one? One with an IR emitter would be best. So with that we can have a recording of the IR the remote sends, and with the emitter we can see which IR protocols the IR receiver understands.
