[mythtv-users] Mythbuntu 8.04 not working with lirc / mceusb2?

[nospam312]

Is anyone running Mythbuntu 8.04alpha4 with a mceusb2 remote control?
I have just upgraded from Mythbuntu 7.10 and everything appears to be
back working apart from the remote control is not working.

I have tracked it down to lircd not loading.

Stopping remote control daemon(s) LIRC [OK]
Loading LIRC modules [OK]
Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your
selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

I have checked my hardware.conf and it appears fine does anyone have
any ideas on why this is not working?

I have even tried a "lircd --driver=help" but this does not even
appear to list the mceusb2 module which is a bit weird?

I have pasted my hardware.conf below.

TIA
