It depends on what you expect to happen when you press a key on the
remote control. The kernel's and driver's job is primarily to deliver
the events to the userspace where they can be handled by a tool or a daemon.

Never heared of a software with such a name.

As you can see, the input event devices are created and you should find
the device nodes somewhere at /dev/input/... You can try to use cat on
them and see if something happens when you press a button on the remote
control.

Again, depends on what you want to happen on a key-press.
