Dude! Works great. xev told me what the keycodes were, and xmodmap was
pretty easy to drive, so I have most of them mapped to something sane now,
and it works in Myth well :) 

There are one or two which seem to be a compound of key codes, they're not
mapped usefully at this point, but there's enough single key code buttons
on the remote that it doesn't matter. I have enough to build a map of most
everything I need. 

Thanks! :)
