After some recent upgraded in my Mythbuntu the MCE remote which has been
working great until now is not working quite right. I have seen lots of
discussion surrounding the issue of moving mce driver to kernel from
lirc starting 2.6.36. I think that is what is causing the issue. But
funny thing is I started with fresh Mythbuntu 11.04 which already had
Here are my problems.

1. Each key press is counted as two-three times.

2. OK key button is not working anylonger. This maybe because my remote
is now getting identified as "vista_mce" instead of "mceusb" before.

IRW test shows keys being depressed correctly except for the OK button.
Any idea on how I can fix the keymapping? Or do I need to change the
profile? BTW usually clicking on right key does work as OK if there is
no more item to display on right button press.

Thanks
Mir
