Had remarkably a lot of trouble getting my old X10 RF remote set up to work with Kodi. Linux keymapping isn't quite as trivial as it once was. Here are the steps I followed:
1. find the device vendor with lsusb. Mine was 0BC7.
2. Find all the device's modalias files with
find /sys -name *modalias | xargs grep -i 0BC7
3. Use the one that is a single string. Mine was the file at
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/modalias
My modalias string looks like this. We want everything before the 'e',
because we want it to apply to all versions.
input:b0003v0BC7p0002e0100-e0,1,2,k110,111,113,114,r0,1,amlsfw
4. Using heavy reference to this Arch wiki page,
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Map_scancodes_to_keycodes
/usr/include/linux/input.h
I create a hwdb file in /etc/udev/hwdb.d/10-x10.hwdb. It contains:
Here's the HWDB file
