Ah, okay. Darn. Was hoping that'd be a quick fix.

That matches what I've got in my box w/an mceusb receiver. Though I haven't 
moved that box to pure FC3 yet, its an FC2/3 mixture, non-udev, with a 
kernel.org kernel (for my HD-2000), so I'm not sure what else might be 
necessary on FC3.

The one you've already got, unfortunately.

Is this a new receiver, or one you've previously had working? I believe there 
are some newer mceusb combos that don't work with the Linux driver (yet?), so 
maybe that's what's going on... You may want to ping some folks over on the 
lirc list.
