OK, so you booted the 13.04 CD on the same server box where the remote
is not working, and the remote worked.  That rules out any hardware
problems - always good to know.

I am running 12.04, but a slightly older kernel (3.2.0-43-generic) as
newer 12.04 kernels than that cause the box to lock up, which I have
yet to diagnose.  I suppose it is possible that there has been a
problem in the more recent kernels that might have made MCE remotes
stop working, but I would have thought that would have been noticed by
now.
