Mind sharing your current module source (with patch applied) ao that I can
compare it to my current moduel source (my attempt to hack in the patch).

Also, do you use the stock kernel or do you compile your own kernel (and not
just the modules as I was trying to do)?

What's the extra options that you pass in when you load your modified kernel
module to properly init?

Also, what do you mean you "just use it as a keyboard?"

I am really not familiar with what this remote is capable of.  I just know
that now that I have it I want to make it work in some way, some how.

So what, exactly, were you able to get working with this remote?  How do you
use it with MythTV?

Thanks for the response!
