Well for 2.4 one just doesn't load keybdev (you lose if you have an USB keyboard). So far I haven't had a close look at 2.6, but I suspect the problem has not been addressed yet. Maybe one of the BUS_* types could be used to distinguish IR remote controls from other keyboards. But it's still unclear how one can configure the system to not put IR key events in the normal input queue. Johannes
