I have one of those Packard Bell remotes and could never get it to work 
properly with LIRC. Granted, that was just prior to the Lirc 0.7 release 
while lirc was having a fair bit of trouble playing well with FC2 and I'm 
not exactly a linux expert, so it is not surprising that I couldn't make it 
work. I'd like to give it a shot again. Would you mind sharing your 
configuration info with me? What version of lirc are you using, what does 
your lircd.conf look like, what does your modprobe.conf look like?
