 |
|
I have a USB keyboard and a USB remote both plugged into my computer. The remote is a Cyberlink remote, here:
http://www.cyberlink.com/multi/cyberstore/order_44_ENU.html
The keyboard and the remote both are interacting via HID with the computer. The only thing, however, is that the computer is seeing the remote as a keyboard, with the numbers on the remote providing the same keycodes as the numbers above the letters on the keyboard (and differently from those from the numpad.)
The idea I had involved using the remote to control all of my multimedia needs, but since it is presently overlapping with my keyboard, it's simply impossible.
In addition, the remote is both devices /dev/input/event0 and /dev/input/event1, with event0 being the direction arrows and the numbers, and event1 being all other buttons on the remote.
Presently, I am able to type in numbers using the remote and control multimedia functions through both the keyboard and the remote for keys like XF86AudioMute, et co.
Questions:
Is it possible for me to have both event0 and event1 be the devices for one input?
Is it possible for me to separate keyboard functions from remote functions (like have different keycodes for the keyboard and the remote?)
