Am setting up XBMC 13.2 in Linux Mint 17, x64, fresh install. Would like to not use Lirc.
My issue is that I have 2x USB tuners, which are installed, and configured/working as tuners, but am now endeavouring to setup the remote.
I have another 'standalone' remote, which I would like to use. Unfortunately, this one is not being detected properly by the kernel, as one of the tuner sensors seems to be overriding it. Details:

Think I need to disable the IR on event10 + event12, but obviously not disable the driver, so believe I then can't blacklist the driver..

Hints on how to go about this would be great

Set static names for the devices via a udev rule, eg:

/etc/udev/rules.d/10-persistent-ir.rules

Code:
KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0471", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2093", SYMLINK+="input/phillips-ir"

Then disable all input on that device with ir-keytable:

Code:
sudo /usr/bin/ir-keytable -c -d /dev/input/phillips-ir

This worked for some years in Libreelec and Coreelec.

But now, the command

Code:
/usr/bin/ir-keytable -c -d /dev/input/phillips-ir

gives the error

Code:
/usr/bin/ir-keytable: invalid option -- 'd'
