Thanks! Actually my main point of confusion was that the remote simply
wasn't getting seen as a keyboard until I restarted X. I did however
start another thread about the fact that I can assign KEY_F13 to a key
in ir-keytable and the tests indicate that it works, but for some
reason MythTV doesn't recognize it, even though F13 in MythTV does
work in lirc. If you have any ideas there I'd appreciate it.

One thing I was curious about was this: When I installed (compiled
under Gentoo) ir-keytable I noticed that the media-libs/libv4l
required by media-tv/v4l-utils appears to build based on the current
kernel pointed to by /usr/src/linux. Does this mean that that always
needs to be recompiled for new kernels? I'd sort of assume so.

Thanks again!
Tom
