I think I got unlucky and got a remote which happens to have some unusual hardware in it which happens to not be supported (yet?). I tried ubuntu 10.10 but still no luck.<br>

</div>You didn't get an mceusb-compatible receiver, which is what the suggestion is. You got one of the pure HID receivers. They decode in hardware and send HID events, some of which X knows what to do with natively (thus volume, numbers and a few others working). This device *is* usable with lirc using its devinput driver, or using eventlircd or inputlirc.<br>

<br>I bought that remote and it worked right out of the box with Ubuntu 10.04/Myth 0.23. I used the Mythbuntu control center to install LIRC packages. <br><br>I bought a few different remotes prior to this, none worked as well or as easily.<br>
