If you just plug the remote in, open a terminal and press a few keys on 
the remote you should see it echoing them as if it was a keyboard. It 
does not use ir-keytable, as far as linux is concerned the remote is a 
keyboard and a mouse.

I literally plug it in and use it, no changes at all to anything, and I 
test it in a bash session. The number keys should echo numbers, play 
should echo P and so on.

Does yours not work like this?
