Only the arrow keys work.

Gulp - holy cow! I just had a look at your README and this looks like it's
a gargantuan task and not something for the faint-hearted. Lirc was always
the most difficult and annoying thing to get working as part of a MythTV
setup. I can't believe it's been made even more complicated!

My remote is a Harmony 600. Is there, by any chance, a shortcut to doing
this by copying someone else's config for a Harmony 600? if not, I'll start
working my way through your guide. One of the 1st things I noticed was that
I don't have /etc/rc_keymaps/ files. I also don't have ir-keytable
installed. Should I just install ir-keytable or does this indicate a more
fundamental problem that I need to deal with first?
