First of all, upgrading to a stock 2.4.23 kernel and using uhci caused my remote to (basically) work. As-is, the keyboard part works, and the mouse jumps to the screen corners.
For whatever reason, it wasn't working with these kernels:
kernel-2.4.20-24.9 kernel-2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at (Red Hat 9 base.)
The second part is fixed by a patch from Norbert Federa, who was kind enough to quickly respond with the patch off-list when I mailed him privatly.
"Here is a solution for 2.4.22: You need to edit drivers/usb/hid-core.c and add following lines to the very end of the hid_add_field() function, directly before the line "return (0);"
if(field->logical_minimum==field->logical_maximum)
{
field->logical_minimum=-1;
field->logical_maximum=1;
}here is a patch for 2.4.22:
--- hid-core_orig.c Mon Dec 8 23:11:58 2003
+++ hid-core.c Mon Dec 8 23:14:33 2003

+ field->logical_minimum = -1;
+ field->logical_maximum = 1;
+ }
+
return 0;
}
"I used this patch in 2.4.23. I applied it by hand, I don't know if the patch works directly on the current version of the file. Perhaps someone could get this change into the official version of hid-core.c?
All is working well with my Shuttle PN31 remote on my Shuttle SB51G system now. Is there any other documentation I can provide for anyone looking in the future, or any other tests I might perform?
