IR remote control as mouse

[johnea]

Hello,

I've previously used LIRC for IR remote control of multimedia software, as well as configuring the arrow keys, of the remote, to function as a mouse.

Can both of these functions be implemented via xorg configuration?

Remapping the buttons to control the media player is working, but without access to key codes greater than 255.

Is there a way to configure the arrow and enter keys to function as an evdev mouse?

Thank You!
