Hi,
I dont have any remote control working in my test box setup here.
I have a PVR-250 card. I'm using Ubuntu Edgy, 6.10 with the apt-get
install stuff.

I get output like Aaron does from irw, I have the symlink in place too.
My mythfrontend --version output looks like:-

ke at mythtvbackend:~$ mythfrontend --version

  Major opcode:  145
  Minor opcode:  3
  Resource id:  0x0
