Hi Shayne,

Hi Garth,

Yes, and this is part of why I just want to write my own driver and
disable Apple's. Our use of these systems is educational, and we need
the remote to do a very specific thing.

Is there any way I could get the source for the driver as a starting
point? Or, do you have any other suggestions/recommendations? Or is
Apple only consumer-oriented and doesn't like custom use of their
hardware and I should just use Linux?

Sorry, I can't help you there. But please feel free to file an enhancement request asking for a public API for the Apple remote at <http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter >.

Hello,

I have a very specific application where I want the remote to behave
in a particular way, I need to be able to capture all button
press/release events as they happen, and I do not want the remote
control to activate any other program but my own (not Front Row, not
volume control, nothing).

Just so you know, the Apple remote is unsupported for use by third- party
developers. Obviously folks have figured out how it works...
