Public bug reported:
I'm working with the version that's currently in precise.
I notice that a lot of keys are mapped out to values >255. It seems the
kernel knows how to handle these, but X11 can't. Every guide out there
referring to getting a remote setup using ir-keytable first tells you to
go and remap KEY_OK, and KEY_EXIT and basically go write your own
keymap.
What do you think about carrying a distro patch in Debian & Ubuntu that
remaps these keymaps to stuff <255 until X11 actually gains support for
these keys? I think it would help make setting up an infrared remote
without lirc far easier (just install the ir-keytable package and it
should just work with most your applications).
I'm happy to help write this patch if you would be open to accepting it
to use until X11 sorts things out.
