I also had to fight udev changing sda to sdf for no damn good reason, wound up having to use UUIDs (which I've never had to use before.) The hardware is built into the htpc case and unless it stops working I won't replace it - I don't want to have a dongle sitting off to the side. Primarily though, I use irexec to do other things and evdev (or the kernel's map to keypresses) doesn't appear to offer an equivalent. As one example, the power key doesn't do squat with the evdev/ir-keytable, I've tried extensively to get it to work. It works to power it up if the machine is shut down, but neither xbmc or mythtv will do anything with the power keystroke to shut it down. After a couple of days messing around trying to get it to work, I set up irexec and it worked immediately - and it's been that way for many years. Dan
