[mythtv-users] FC14, lirc_mod_mce, MS MCE Keyboard. Anybody have this working?

[Derek & Cindi Cass]

Hello all, I've been trying to get a MS Media Center Keyboard working
with my recently built FC14 based Mythbox.  I downloaded the latest
lirc_mod_mce and after working through the compile issues needed due to
changes in the 2.6.35 kernel, I was able to successfully install the
kernel module and use irw to verify that the extended keyboard buttons
worked (Play, Stop, etc.) although none of the standard keyboard keys
worked.

And after the next reboot, it no longer works and hasn't since.
Historically, lirc_mod_mce conflicted with lirc_mceusb2, but
lirc_mceusb2 and lirc_mceusb were merged in lirc as of v0.8.6.  I have
tried lirc 0.8.5 (with a blacklisted lirc_mceusb2) through 0.8.7 to no
avail.  I am using the lircd.conf for the Philips Media Center Edition
remote control.

The instructions for lirc_mod_mce said to run three steps with dkms and
then "configure lirc".  The only choice with lirc that seems appropriate
in the setup script results in mceusb/2.  Looking at solutions for
ubuntu, it seems that I should be trying to use lirc_mod_mce as the
driver which is configured in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf, but fedora
doesn't use this, and the stated option is
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_mod_mce", but REMOTE_MODULES isn't listed
in /etc/sysconfig/lirc (which I assume is the equivalent
to /etc/lirc/hardware.conf in fedora - maybe I'm wrong).

lircd -H=? has never shown lirc_mod_mce as an available driver, and if I
force it to use this in /etc/sysconfig/lirc lirc won't start.  lsmod
does show lirc_mod_mce loaded.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,

Derek
