Input Device Key Mapping (driver authoring advice?)

[Micah F. G. <mfg...@uw...>]

Hello all,

Recently I came into possession of a Logitech UltraX Media Remote.  It
has a USB RF receiver, and when I plug it in, it shows up as two hid
devices (normal keys and media keys).  The normal keys
(letters/numbers/arrows/etc) all work as they should, but some of the
special buttons on the second device are unknown (though they still show
up) or need to be mapped correctly.

I would like to fix this.  I had a quick look through the docs and on
the list, and didn't see much on how to tackle this problem.  So, if
someone could enlighten me, I would like to know what the best approach
is...

Does this require a completely separate driver?  I wouldn't imagine so
since all the keys generate an event, just not always the right event.
If not, is there somewhere in the input system I can tune the key map,
or provide one specific to this device?  Assuming neither is correct,
what should I be doing, and where should I be looking for docs/examples?

Thanks in advance!
