[mythtv-users] Definitive guide for setting multimedia keyboards in Myth?

[Richard Bronosky]

Cecil says that my kernel has HIDEV.  Last night I tried xbindkeys, and
it seems that it is missing the same buttons that SVEN was missing.  I
there a way I can watch the data come off the USB port?  I know the IR
receiver is getting the button presses.  The next step in the chain is
to see if any data is being given to the bus.

Ideas?
