I bought an MCE remote that shows up as the following under lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 147a:e03e Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc.


I see this in hardware.conf

Code:
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_mceusb"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_SOCKET=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb"
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

and this is already in lirc_mceusb.c

/* Formosa21 / eHome Infrared Receiver */
{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_FORMOSA, 0xe03a) },

I'm lost.

There's no response in irw. There's supposed to be /dev/lirc0 but it doesn't exist. The only thing I have in /dev/ is lircd.

Any insight?
I had similar issues, not sure if the following thread will help:

Yeah I saw that thread last night and gave it a try. Didn't seem to work. I should've logged everything i did but it was late and now I forgot pretty much everything I had done so I should probably give it another try.

FWIW the remote works perfectly fine in Windows.
Never mind I'm retarded. The answer was right here in this post

0xe03a

My device is
0xe03e.

It works great now.
