USB HID IR Receiver + Remote Control - Same with Streamzap?

[Ow M. H. <Ow....@wd...>]

Hi,

	Anyone here has experience with USB HID IR Receivers? I bought one
which works under windows, it basically emulates a keyboard.

I plugged it in, it has this to say

usb 3-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
hiddev96: USB HID v1.00 Device [GreenAsia Electronics  PC/Apple IR
Receiver ] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-1

However, when I use xev and start pressing any keys, nothing comes out. 

I've not tried with LIRC yet, does anyone know if this is the same as
the streamzap remote control? If it it, then perhaps I can start
building it with streamzap as the driver and test it out.
