[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!
