Pinnacle Systems Remote Kit not working

[Dbbd]

The kernel modules for common usb-ir-remotes are already in the distribution, and they are loaded by default.
The kernel modules map those remotes to keys. What happens then depends on who is listening for these key-events.
XBMC listens vents on key events by default, so does lirc devinput driver, both together cause a conflict. So in order to use lirc with devinput, you have to somehow tell xbmc to expect input only from lirc, and not from keyboard events - and while I succeeded in making it work this way *once*, I could not figure out how I did it. Its a complicated setup and I don;t believe it is worth it.

ir-keytables exist with the ir-keytable package for most popular remotes. Customization is really easy. New xbmc compatible ir-keytables are by far simpler to distribute or customize than dealing with lirc, devinput & keyboard.xml
