[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#507833: hal: X thinks remote control is a keyboard

[Tony Houghton]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.11-6
Severity: normal


I have a DVB card with a remote control which appears as an input
device, and I'm having problems because X thinks it's a keyboard. See
also #507831. /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-keymap.fdi
applies input.xkbd properties to devices matching 'input.keys'. Perhaps
it should match on 'input.keyboard' instead?
