How to remap IR remote control buttons?

[El Potro]

Hello community,

I have a pci tv card, which has a built-in IR receiver.

That IR receiver never worked on previous Ubuntu releases. Now, with Ubuntu 10.04, once I select the appropriate module (bttv radio=1 remote=1 pll=1 tuner=38 card=120) to my surprise it worked out of the box. :guitar:

The only issue is that the remote control buttons are incorrectly mapped.

Where is the file that I can edit for changing each button's function? Perhaps it has a GUI that would make the things easier?

This is my output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices



# cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0001 Vendor=109e Product=036e Version=0001
N: Name="bttv IR (card=120)"
P: Phys=pci-0000:03:02.0/ir0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:03:02.0/input/input6
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=kbd event6
B: EV=100003
B: KEY=2c0814 100004 0 0 0 4 2008000 2090 2001 1e0000 4400 0 ffc


I'm sure this isn't hard to do, but my ignorance isn't letting me go any further.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am also looking for an answer to this question as I want to re-map some of the keys on my ASRock remote control. I am ideally after mapping a button to a right mouse click so I can use XBMC better on my Raspberry Pi.

I have not had tome to follow it yet but this wiki page looks promising:
