Use the "xev" program to see if X can see remote button presses. If you use the "Multimedia Keys" settings in [GNOME] (and presumably something similar in [KDE]), you can assign arbitrary keys (including those buttons on the remote) to various desktop functions such as volume/mute control. (Use of xev(1) shows that not all the buttons on the remote are supported - while most generate events, the buttons labelled "CATV", "Video", "Audio", "Full Screen", and channel up and down don't appear to be visible for some reason).
-This however isn't sufficient to program "change channel" functions and so forth. For this, perhaps
you could investigate using the
"lirc" userland daemons with the generic "event interface" (EVDEV support needed in the kernel) for this IR support, have a look at http://linux
.bytesex.org/v4l2/faq.html#ir,
and update this page :)

and the "liblircclient0" package installed on Debian meant that the numbers on the remote are seen just like the numbers on
+the keypad.

If you don't want the driver to print debugging messages to syslog every time you press a button, edit the file
