Thanks for the advice Simon. I kind of nearly have this working now. 
Using xev I was able to see the key mapping for the remote. This seems 
pretty straightforward, ie. up=88, down=80, etc and then I thought I'd 
use mythweb to just map these numbers straight to the relevant action. 
Unfortunately no dice. I'll have to create the xmodmap file. Is there a 
particular syntax that Myth expects this file to be in? I've found an 
example file from a different remote that looks like this:

! Vol Down ([)
keycode 174 = bracketleft bracketleft bracketleft bracketleft 

! Vol Up   (])
keycode 176 = bracketright bracketright bracketright bracketright 

! Mute    (|)
keycode 160 = bar bar bar bar

! >>      (U) Faster
keycode 233 = U U U U

I'm not sure why this file contains things like 'bar bar bar bar'. I mean, where does that come from?

Thanks for any pointers.

Kind regards
Andy
