flirc events not being caught

[grkblood13]

Not sure if this is a gk bug of enhancement request but FLIRC events don't seem to be caught by global-keypress. Flirc is a universal usb remote control receiver and its fairly popular. It basically emulates keyboard events.

When flirc isn't plugged in /dev/input is as follows:
by-id by-path event0 event1 mice mouse0

When I plug it in it changes to:
by-id by-path event0 event1 event2 mice mouse0

Maybe that has something to do with it?

$ grep -E 'Handlers|EV' /proc/bus/input/devices
H: Handlers=mouse0 event0
B: EV=17
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd leds event1
B: EV=120013
H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event2
B: EV=10001f

After looking at the code it seems another issue will be handling multiple devices. Currently, only one device is supported. If you're using a usb remote it would be fair to assume that a keyboard would also be plugged in.
