MCE Remote on Helix / Lubuntu - Zxurian - 2014-11-28

trying to setup a new streamlined box.
Installed Lubuntu 14.10 fresh
Installed Kodi Helix Beta through unstable PPA - works
Have MCE Remote plugged in (generic mediagate, RC-6)

running
Code:
ir-keytable
shows that when I press buttons, they are reporting back as KEY_OK, KEY_LEFT, etc.. however when i try to use the remote within Kodi, only the navigation buttons work, OK & Back don't.

Did some searching, and saw that I might have to modify my keymap to support newer kernels, however when I copied Lircmap.xml from /usr/share/kodi/system to ~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps, I saw that it already has entries for the KEY_OK and such.

So.... how do I get Kodi to recognize the remote commands that my remote is sending (and based on ir-keytable, being received by the system)

Try a debug log (wiki) while doing the button presses.
