Then you need something that can listen to the event from the Linux
input layer device. On Fedora it will probably be through lirc, and
gnome-lirc-properties:

If your setup isn't customised, you should at least see some keys as
having keysyms under X. Launch xev and press the "Play" key.

But you'll see that something like lirc will be necessary to take full
advantage of the remote.
