Christoph,
I don't know why this hasn't been done. But then again, I don't know how
to do this either.... So maybe everyone else is in the same boat?
Suggestions on how it might be do-able?.... There is a ever-growning number
of USB dev/input compatible devices out there?
Ideas:
* I expect you need to know what "keycodes" a particular dev/input device
is capable of emitting (since a 20button remote won't have a full AT 105 key
keyboard set of keycodes, let alone multimedia keys - my keyboard has 17
"multimedia" keys),
* from there you just directly map those keys (in lircd.conf) that are
available to the same-named X keyboard event with irxevent?
Anyone care to comment?
Buzz.
