I did some testing today on a updated debian sid installation.
Conclusion device does not work yet on debian sid.

I took the latest git of bluez-utils and bluez-gnome build them as you
can find info how in my first original topic about the remote.

I still needed to use bluetooth-appplet the connect/pair the device. But
no input event is created.

It seems the xorg patches are not yet in debian sid.

I will wait until the next debian update of libx11 and hope an input
event will be created when connecting the device.

Please see the attachment for more information and logs.

Marcel, did you apply the changes you made when on CELINUX in the
Netherlands, I can remember some of these changes made an input device
at for the remote, and the patch Bastien against libX11 should make xorg
understand the events... correct? but currently it seems both systms are
not doing working yet..

Best regards,

Jelle
