I have one too. As Stephen says, you could use Xmodmap to remap the
buttons to different keys. That's no good if you use a keyboard on the
machine though, because its keys will get remapped as well.

To be honest, you might find it easier to build a homebrew IR receiver
(www.lirc.org) and use LIRC, with which this remote works happily.
