Jarod, ir-kbd-i2c only applies to Hauppauge remotes.  What about mceusb
type remotes?  I specifically have the Microsoft IR Keyboard, and I
can't get anything to work at all on this same kernel.  Should I expect
to be able to at least get the remote control keys to work?  I've tried
the new lirc-mod-mce-0.4.0 posted in January to no avail.

[mythtv at mythbox ~]$ lsmod | grep mceusb
mceusb                 17220  0 
rc_core                17007  9
rc_hauppauge_new,ir_sony_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,ir_rc5_decoder,ir_nec_decoder,rc_rc6_mce,mceusb

Do I need to use devinput and maybe blacklist mceusb?  I'm guessing that
this isn't going to work too well at this point as the lirc-mod-mce code
ends up in the lirc default driver, but the in-kernel decoding will use
the devinput driver.

Thanks,

Derek
