I have no direct experience with this remote. However, if the remote
is being autodetected as an input device, you probably want (if not
already) to start irrecord and then lircd using the
'--driver=/dev/input' option and specify the correct device
(/dev/input/eventX).

Good luck too if you decide to try and configure it as a regular
keyboard - not sure if all of the remote's keys will be received
directly though.
