Dear all, I am going mad trying to configure my XBMC to work properly with my ATI Remote Wonder II.
I have installed a XBMC Live to my Revo hard drive, configured it and it does work just fine.
But, I connected my ATI Remote Wonder II and it does recognize some of the keys, but not others.
I have tried so far:
So far I tried the instructions and hints posted in the following link:

I think that if I can manage Lirc to work, and irw command to recognize button presses I can configure the actions via Lircmap.xml and remote.xml (in keymaps).
I came with a workaround that is not so elegant and that is to remap the scancodes to different existing keys, like:
Change KEY_OK (5c) --> KEY_ENTER (28)
Change KEY_COFFEE (96) --> KEY_BACKSPACE (14)
Change KEY_MENU (54) -->KEY_MENU (139)
But this way does not allow me to assign custom functions and the buttons on the remote work unexpectedly if mapped to keys of the keyboard.
Could you please point me what else to try?
It has been almost a week trying everyday for several hours differents approaches, but none of them worked.

I have tried so far:
- Configuring keyboard.xml and remote.xml, to no avail. I came to the conclusion that the remote does not generates correctly the KeyID to be able to map all the keys (see included section of the log).
- Reconfiguring Lirc by modifying hardware.conf and lircd.conf. irw command does not work, and still no difference in behaviour.
- I followed some different steps to blacklist the kernel module and use external Lirc instead, but still no chance to get it working.
