Need to identify the problem first.

two machines running Gutsy. Old notebook, Intel based, USB 1 interface 
and the remote works. The other a AMD 6000+, USB 2 interface and the 
remote doesn't work. The output from mode2 on the notebook looks 
reasonable, the mode2 output on the new machine is grossly different.
