Comment 51 for bug 655512

On one of my machines, maverick, lirc works just fine after I did a dpkg-reconfigure lirc. On the other, also maverick, with the same microsoft mce remote and receiver, it treats it as a keyboard (the volume keys adjust the volume without lirc running). Not even copying the config files from the working machine will get it to work.
Could this be related to this bug? On the machine on which the remote works, there is no lirc0 in /dev, however, the hardware.conf in /etc/lirc/ says "REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0""?
