[mythtv-users] New MCE 2005 Remote

I have that remote and I had a HUGE struggle with it.  I am using FC3
on my FE and was using kernel 2.6.10-1.770 from ATRPMS.  The
pre-packaged lirc from ATRPMs didn't include the necessary driver for
the newer style MCE remotes.  I had to find the corrent source code
for the ONE driver and compile a version of lirc against my current
kernel.  It semi-worked.  I came to find out that my motherboard/usb
controller (ohci I believe) had an issue with that kernel.  It would
cause the receiver to work SOMETIMES but not often enough.  After
reboots it would disappear.  I was told that a newer kernel should fix
the issue.  I noticed last week that Axel had upgraded the kernel on
his site so I went about the process of upgrading and in the middle, I
kinda fubar'd my setup.  So I built from scratch.  I don't know if
lirc has been upgraded with this newer driver or not.  Axel has told
me he only builds "official" releases of packages (lirc, nvidia, etc).
 He doesn't include fixes.  I will probably try again to get my MCE
2005 remote working.  It might just be better if I went to GENTOO on
my FE so that I compile everything from scratch just to make sure I
can get exactly what I want in.  That is a pretty huge step though
from FC3.  Good luck!
