I have a 24-button IR remote control here that I want to use with NetBSD.
There is a Sony Bluetooth remote (intended for the PS/3) that would be
neat to be able to use also. I didn't look into it but there was some
mention on the freebsd bluetooth list a while ago.
My driver decodes the key presses, but I don't know how to deliver them
to userland. wskbd seems a bit heavy, and even if there was an easier
way I'm not sure how I would represent a button named eg. "DVD menu" or
"Guide" with wskbd.
how do keyboards (or computers) with 'media buttons' work? If they
translate into some kind of keycode then I think a remote control should
probably just do that also.. (it is a key press on a board of keys :)
