I have a DVB-C card that comes with an IR-Remote that shows up as /dev/input/event12 running kernel 3.3.3. The remote works on the fly with XBMC except for two important buttons that are identified by evtest as KEY_OK and KEY_EXIT. Now I'd like to remap these buttons to the "select" and "back" action accordingly. Without the mapping, the remote is not usable because I can't select anything.
I tried with a few custom keymap .xml configurations from the Keyboard.xml wiki page. e.g.:
I used the <keyboard> tag, since the evdev for the IR-Remote seems to identify as one:
But it just doesn't work:
no matter what I try: <key id="KEY_OK"></key>, etc.
What is the right approach to remap keys from /dev/input/eventX?
