NOTE: I COULDN'T POST THIS IN THE GUIDE SECTION
I'M NEW TO THIS FORUM AND I JUST WANTED TO PUT THIS ON THE NET FOR THOSE HAVING ISSUES WITH SIMILAR REMOTES. IF A MODERATOR COULD MOVE IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED THX.
These are the steps I used for getting the Rosewill RRC-126 Remote working on XBMC for Ubuntu.
#OS: Ubuntu
#XBMC: xbmcfreaklive-natty-dharma-v2
#FIRST PLUG IN THE IR RECEIVER BEFORE LIRC INSTALL that way you can specify the device name during install.
#INSTALL LIRC, if it's already installed you can remove 'sudo apt-get purge lirc' then reinstall.
sudo apt-get install lirc
#Install LIRC using linux dev/input/eventX then None during install menu and choose the appropriate device mine was listed as 'Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc.'
#Use the following command to get a List of KEY NAMES for mapping during the irrecord configuration step:
irrecord --list-namespace | less
#You should plan which KEYMAP names you'll use for the buttons on your controller.
My Example:
#playback
KEY_REWIND
KEY_FASTFORWARD
KEY_MUTE
KEY_PLAY
KEY_STOP
KEY_PAUSE
#shortcut
KEY_VIDEO
KEY_HOMEPAGE
KEY_BACK
KEY_FORWARD
KEY_INFO
KEY_CANCEL
KEY_PREVIOUS
#directional
KEY_LEFT
KEY_DOWN
KEY_UP
KEY_RIGHT
#numpad
KEY_0
KEY_1
KEY_2
KEY_3
KEY_4
KEY_5
KEY_6
KEY_7
KEY_8
KEY_9
#volume
KEY_VOLUMEDOWN
KEY_VOLUMEUP
#Create lirc controller configuration using KEYMAP names you planned from previous step using irrecord:
sudo irrecord --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event2 configname
#example: sudo irrecord --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/event2 rrc126
#Note: Your receiver may be loggin under another eventnumber. e.g. event3 etc.
#After creating your config add the following line to your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf to include the new keymaps you configured for your remote.
include "path/file.conf"
#example: include "/usr/share/lirc/remotes/devinput/lirc.conf.rrc126"
#Restart LIRC to load the new configs
sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
#Configure Lircmap.xml for XBMC.
#Example taken from: http://6.ptmc.org/259

</lircmap>
You will use this in the Lircmap.xml see reference URL for more information if needed.
Note that i changed <remote device="mceusb"> TO <remote device="devinput"> and that the example has certain keys that i didn't map but left for visual purposes e.g. <title>Guide</title> anything that doesn't have KEY_<NAME>.
Note:You may have to restart XBMC after adding the Lircmap.xml file to the userdata folder.
Let me know if you have any questions, have a nice day!
