Second this. I have the ortek IR receivers that work fine BUT the menu<br>
button corresponds to ^M. This means I am stuck remapping with xmodmap<br>
or some other scheme. I have used this wiki page to get really far:<br>
<a href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/HID_Remotes" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/HID_Remotes</a><br>
<br>
But the last bit escapes me. If anyone has already figured this out,<br>
please educate me.<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Is it an Ortek VRC-1100?
