Hello everyone,

I have a remote control that looks like a USB keyboard to the system. 
When I press buttons on the remote, key presses appear in X and the VTs. 
I would like to change my configuration so that events from the remote 
don't turn into key presses and become available only in 
/dev/input/eventN (where I will read them with a custom application).

I'm running FC6. Any help or pointers on how to accomplish this would be 
much appreciated.

Thank you,

Roger
