My HTPC runs Debian Squeeze/AMD64 with the liquorix kernel and has the usual Soundgraph iMON LCD display/receiver + RM200 remote. liquorix comes standard with lirc_imon.ko module and in XBMC the remote works straight away without a need for LIRC or inputlirc.

I suppose HAL is doing all the work: however, only a limited number of keys are recognized: the keyboard/mouse switch, the arrows, ESC, Enter, Backspace, Vol+/-, the context menu, play, stop, FFWD/REW, NEXT/PREV - but e.g. the numbers or colors do not work at all.

Since I need to use HAL nonetheless and I'm not overly eager to mess with LIRC, is there a way to make the other keys work within HAL?

I found out a couple bits of interesting info: it appears that lirc_imon.c contains scan codes for all the keys on the RM200 remote.

But! in the debug log all the non-working keys show up with the very same scancode:

DEBUG: SDLKeyboard: scancode: 127, sym: 19, unicode: 0, modifier: 0

So the problem is how to get HAL to pass the correct scancode which (supposedly) comes from the driver on to XBMC?
