There is a evdev in freevo too, have you tried this?
Something like this needs to be added to local_conf.py
EVENT_DEVS = ['AT Translated Set 2 keyboard', 'i2c IR (Hauppauge)']
The names are taken from lsinput.

Add this to the bottom of local_conf.py:
print_events = True
if print_events:
# Print configured events
for(k, v) in EVENTS.items():
print '==========='
print '%s' % (k)
print '-----------'
for (k2, v2) in v.items():
if v2.handler != None:
print ' "%s" %s "%s" %s:%s' % (k2, v2.name, v2.arg,
v2.context, v2.handler)
elif v2.context != None:
print ' "%s" %s "%s" %s' % (k2, v2.name, v2.arg,
v2.context)
elif v2.arg != None:
print ' "%s" %s "%s"' % (k2, v2.name, v2.arg)
else:
print ' "%s" %s' % (k2, v2.name)
