Had a bbq to go to, then had to fight with the stupid thing a bit to
get it to re-pair. Now that that's out of the way, I can report that
all but three keys (Live TV, thumbs up and thumbs down) are working
properly. Looking into those next. They currently show up in evtest as
EV_ABS type events, identically, like so:

Event: time 1283745547.651536, type 3 (Absolute), code 40 (Misc), value 0
Event: time 1283745547.651579, -------------- Report Sync ------------
Event: time 1283745547.856519, type 3 (Absolute), code 40 (Misc), value 1
Event: time 1283745547.856543, -------------- Report Sync ------------
