From running showkey -k I know that all keys on my remote control are
functional. But how do I make them usable?
"Use xmodmap to map keycodes to appropriate KeySyms" is one thing that
might work.

This does not work, since not every key, sends a keycode.
And having 16 non-functional Keys on my remote, is not acceptable...

Some of the default key codes won't be passed on by X to applications; so
either you use input-kbd (input-utils again) to redefine the mappings or you
use LIRC.

I tried using LIRC (recorded my own keycodes and all but it is not satisfactory, since I can't actually emulate XF86... Keycodes.

When I run IRKick (KDE) the previously available Keycodes become unavailable.

What I'd like, is some sort of duality, like sending keycodes for some of the buttons on the remote (like the numpad or the media-keys, play, stop, etc) and some of the LIRC functionality at the same time (accessing application functions, changing remote-modes, etc).

But if that's not possible, I'd prefer to redefine my key-mappings.
I how can I do this? Input-kbd is not in the repos of Fedora, so isn't input-utils...

Thanks in advance,
