This guide helped me a lot and MCE remote is working fine now except one "small" problem.
VolumeUP and VolumeDown buttons are acting like PageUP and PageDown buttons.
Is there a solution for this issue ?

But this worked instantly and my remote is now as responsive as it should!
I have only one button not working as I'd like: the power button
it practically does nothing when I press it in the XBMC main menu.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on an ASRock ION 3D
When I run ir-keytable -t and press the button I get the right response:
1330376091.695521: event MSC: scancode = 800f040c
1330376091.695529: event key down: KEY_KPSLASH (0x0062)
1330376091.695530: event sync
1330376091.946235: event key up: KEY_KPSLASH (0x0062)
1330376091.946237: event sync
I have copied the keyboard.xml from this guide completely. Any ideas what to look for to find what's wrong?

Using ir-keytable -t, you would find the keycode that's emitted, and because of how IR keycodes work now, you don't map KEY_OK to something anymore (removal of Lircmap.xml is noted in the first couple sentences). Prior to the newer versions of the Linux kernel, we used to modify that to map keycodes to the XBMC command mappings like Select, Escape, and so on.
In your situation, the line that's relevant for you is:
Forget about KEY_OK, it doesn't exist on a regular keyboard, right? You don't have an OK key (unless you're on some really esoteric keyboard that won't work with most consumer PCs).Code:0x800f0422 KEY_ENTER # Ok
For another example of how things changed, I added another line to my rc6_keymap file like so:
This line used to map to KEY_EPG (the "Menu" button / program guide button), and now XBMC as well as a bunch of other apps will see it as the 'c' key from the keyboard, which according to the keyboard.xml file brings up the context menu.Code:0x800f0426 KEY_C # menu button
Code:<c>ContextMenu</c>
And if you want to set the repeat frequency / delay, modify the command used in the ir-keytable command.

Trying to follow this guide but I can't even pass the "run ir-keytable" command. When running the command I got the error: /sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory
I have read in a different topic that it could be the issue with not recognizing the IR. However it is recognized as (lsusb):
Bus 004 Device 004: ID 073a:2230 Chaplet Systems, Inc.
Any advice how to get the ir-keytable running without the error would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Code:sudo ir-keytable --delay 500
sudo ir-keytable --period 50
And ofcourse check repeat rate with:
Code:sudo ir-keytable
But when I change them to 1 or 1410065407 there is absolutely no effect.
