I've got a Twinhan DVB card that came with a USB IR dongle and a remote control. I'm having some issues with the remote control and wondered if anyone else had come across these:

1. The remote gets registered as a usb-hid device - which means that it's working, but it's seen as a keyboard/mouse device. This isn't so bad, but some of the buttons on the remote map to very strange key codes, is it possible to configure these?

2. The remote is very very sensitive - one button press sometimes gets registered as two or more presses - which can be very annoying. Is there anyway to set a key repeat rate?

3. I've noticed that the IR receiver seems to get confused and picks up signals from my TV remote � it�s generally okay, except for when I hold down the volume button on my TV remote for over a second, in which case the IR receiver registers it as a 'down' key press.

I noticed that a number of useful utilities for HID devices is available for NetBSD - usbhidaction and usbhidctl (see links below), does anyone know if there's an equivalent for Gentoo?

Any ideas, solutions or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks you!
