I was using twm and irxevent. This point is moot now though. I've been
using a learning remote and a wireless keyboard. That has worked well
for me, only problem was the few number of keys that I was able to
program into the remote. Using the ir-kbd-i2c drive I can have as many
buttons that my remote can muster and have them appear as the keypresses
I want in the input stream. Thanks for the info though.
