Total XBMC n00b here, although I know Linux pretty well. I used the LifeHacker article and information here to setup my Acer and it's working great. I also got the recommended remote. That also works fine.
The problem is, I already have a universal remote I would prefer to use. The MCE remote comes with a receiver, so it seems like I should be able to pair them up. From reading the wiki, it looks like if I have the Original Button Codes that the universal is sending out (for whatever mode I've programmed it), I could set up a keymap. Laborious, but whatevs. But how do I get those codes?
Something that would be hella handy would be a util where I can just press buttons and have XBMC map them functions onscreen or something.
