Has anyone successfully configured their remote to control the cursor when not running XBMC? I've been fiddling around with LIRC and such, but I haven't been able to get Xserver to recognize the remote as a desktop input device. Any help would be appreciated.

After a couple days research I got it working on Karmic, you have to set up a HAL mouse and not put a remote mouse in xorg.conf, then run scripts to start everything in the correct order. I have the files for a MS mouse in a zip that I was going to post but I don't think the forum allows attachments post or PM an e-mail and I'll send them.
