Lirc! Remote acts like a mouse I want keystrokes - 8301 - 2011-01-03

Linux Mint Julia 10 (Ubuntu 10)
Dharma

Hello I have a Imon PAD remote that I like to use for my HTPC.
As we know lirc have messed up the Imon driver a solution were made by lyka at XBMC forum http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=83284

It almost works but the direction buttons acts like a mouse I dont want that I need up/down/left/right key strokes for it to work properly in XBCM.

I have read that it should simulate keys on default but I haven't change anything else. There is something that I could change in X11 (nvidia gt210) but I have messed up that file one time to many so I dare not to touch it and try something like this.

Is there some answers out there

the imon remote has a dedicated button which switches the mode from mouse to arrow key presses. At least it does in my setup.
it's the button directly north of the directional knob.

/etc/modprobe.d/lirc.conf
