I can't get it to work
The remote seems to be connected and everything appears fine, the /dev/input/eventX device is created. But there is no irw output and irrecord fails (gap not found). I changed HAL config to ignore the BD remote to no avail. Do we even need LIRC? Maybe it's easier to register the remote with Xorg as a evdev keyboard (or am I misunderstanding something?).
Tonight I'll borrow a different USB bluetooth stick, as I've seen posts about some sticks not working. Any help is appreciated!
