Sony BD Remote (help requested)

[Simon Kenyon <simon@koala.ie>]

i'm trying to get y BD Remote to work.

this is what i have done so far:

installed bluez from git (as of yesterday)
configured it (i think)
when i:

hidd --search

i see the remote

by using udev rules i create /dev/bdremote (which links to 
/dev/input/event<x>, for the correct <x>)
i can see the key presses on the remote being transmitted (using hcidump)

what i cannot do see is ny events occuring (by loading evbug)
i'm trying to get the events into lirc

i promise to write up the steps if i get it working

i'm running a pretty standard gentoo setup with kde (not gnome)

any help would be appreciated
