Hey there 
I own some remote-controls from aureal which are recognised as 2 hid devices (kbd/mouse) and driven by the hid-aureal kernel-module.
For some time, i was able to use hid_mapper ( can be found in another thread in this forum ) with success but it broke on newer libc.
Since newer Xorg relies on udev to get properties of devices instead of using its own drivers/configs it should be possible to remap this
thingies with a rule containing "RUN+= /lib/udev/keymap $name keymap" but this fails also due to the different kind of scancodes.
So my best bet was to use LIRC in conjunction with the driver atwf83, somewhat overkill because it is already an input-device and finally
this won't even not work.
I was used to LIRC for a long time with homebrew receivers which relied on a pulse/pause triggering via serial but somehow any aproach
to map a HID fails.
Can anyone tell me if/how this aureals are able to get a proper usage using more than 3 buttons ?
