So if you can prevent the keyboard events from occurring that should
help? I had a similar problem with my remote and boxstar, I was getting
both keyboard and input device events for certain keys, and I didn't
want to have to disable keyboard control. I managed to get rid of the
unwanted keyboard events in X by using this in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
which forced it to only get keyboard events from my keyboard which is
device 0 (YMMV, check /proc/bus/input/devices) instead of every device
Linux thinks is a keyboard. I couldn't prevent the remote's key presses
appearing on the console. IMO this is a kernel bug, this sort of remote
control can not be considered to be a keyboard.
