hi all,

after hardware failure, I thought it is time for an upgrade, but being  
lazy I went with latest mythbuntu.
myth itself runs fine with a tt-3650 c, but i struggle to get the  
integrated ir receiver working correctly.
with no manual config, I was immediately able to use some of the  
remotes keys like left,right,up,down.
some keys are not working,like OK,epg,shuffle,....
I have been googling, debugging, reading for 2 days now with no success.
if I use evtest for example, I see:


Event: time 1326493426.863798, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 150f
Event: time 1326493426.863804, type 1 (Key), code 352 (Ok), value 1

using irw I see:

160 0 KEY_OK /dev/input/event6
16d 0 KEY_EPG /dev/input/event6

ir-keytable works as well :

1326493532.807756: event MSC: scancode = 150f
1326493532.807761: event key down: KEY_OK (0x0160)
1326493532.807762: event sync
1326493532.959851: event key up: KEY_OK (0x0160)
1326493532.959853: event sync
1326493536.911720: event MSC: scancode = 1522
1326493536.911725: event key down: KEY_EPG (0x016d)
1326493536.911727: event sync
1326493537.063816: event MSC: scancode = 1522
1326493537.063818: event sync
1326493537.215795: event key up: KEY_EPG (0x016d)
1326493537.215796: event sync


so I assume lirc is working.
my ~/.mythtv/lircrc contains f.e. :

begin
     remote = EA65
     prog = mythtv
     button = KEY_OK
     config = Return
     repeat = 0
     delay = 0
end

but mythfrontend doesnt react on the OK key, with no error in the log :

2012-01-13 23:29:40.569 LIRC: Successfully initialized  
'/var/run/lirc/lircd' using '/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc' config

I dont know where to go from here. Any and every input appreciated.
