I'm no programmer, too. But I think writing some kind of driver is no 
good idea. It would be better to add a Input-device class to the 
firmware. That way the remote would be handled like a USB-keyboard by 
the generic input-device module in linux (which is used by the 
remote-control plugin from Oliver Endriss as the Siemens/Hauppauge DVB-S 
cards use the input-device for their remote-hardware).

That way a generic solution would be used also capable of other jobs 
than VDR.
