Pedantic me: codes >255 (or >= 256 :-)

There was some work being discussed (Jarod may have been part of it?) to allow
the linux kernel ir codes >255 to be able to be used via X, but it was stated
to be major work, and unlikely to be seen any time soon.  You can probably find
the list archives regarding this if you search the various X11 lists, and maybe
find the status of any work and/or possible schedules for work.  For today,
as I recall, you are between a rock (lirc) and a hard place (remapping
the kernel
ir codes).  Which place you find more satisfactory depends on which incantation
you are more comfortable with, and there are strong viewpoints on which is
"better".
