This thing eats apples

[Gabriel Dragffy]

Just been fiddling with Feisty on my macbook pro, actually testing it in 
a VM before I nuke everything. I have to make sure certain things can 
work first; for example the apple remote.

Got the IR receiver connected, checked /var/log/messages see that it is 
recognized OK, but wondered why my button presses go unnoticed. i soon 
discovered that the volume buttons on the remote adjust the volume - 
that's a great start!! Though the other buttons seem useless, they don't 
seem to have any effect on Totem. I hoping I could atleast move through 
the items in the playlist, even if it doesn't have focus.

I was wondering if anyone else had some input on Apple remote+Ubuntu, 
can it work even better? Or is it still early days?

I have to admit that I *never* thought I'd have the remote working in 
Linux, but now I've had a taste I want more. Seriously, if I can get 
this remote thing working then I'll nuke the entire machine with ext3 
and stop beating around the bush with OSX + WinXP VM + Ubuntu VM :D :D
