Introduction
There are several buttons on the Gyration Media Center Remote that work with XBMC out of the box, so to speak.
There are also some that do not.
This method uses the evrouter program to map the unused keys (or any key you wish, for that matter) to keyboard keys that XBMC uses.
This was written using Ubuntu 9.10 i386 with XBMC 9.11 installed from the svn ppa.
Install evrouter
The Ubuntu repositories do not have evrouter, but there is a .deb package available at the author's website, which this guide will use.
Download the package:
wget http://debian.bedroomlan.org/debian/pool/main/e/evrouter/evrouter_0.4_i386.deb
Install the package:
sudo dpkg -i evrouter_0.4_i386.deb
