I have the same problems, tyring to get MCE remote via Soundgraph imon to work with EDEN. My config is this:
I have the same hardware.conf as dave with the exception that I use lircd.conf.imon-mceusb".
Also before in Dharma to get any keys recognized I had to create a lirc_imon.conf file in /etc/modprobe.d containing just one line:
options lirc_imon ir_protocol=1
So dave, you could try this but I guess then you can't start the lirc daemon cause that's what's happening to me now. First I got unrecognized option then I got broken configuration, check hardware.conf.
Everything worked fine under Dharma where I also had to configure quite a few things, but now it seems hopeless. Mythbuntu forum users are talking about some broken lirc_imon drivers/modules in newer linux kernels, I hope that's not the case with xbmcbunte but my best guess is now that in fact it is the problem we are experiencing right now
See also http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=127098 . There were three steps mentioned to somehow downgrade to the good old working lirc_imon, but I don't know how to exactly do the mentioned steps to test if it works.
BTW I tried the way with inputlirc, too, but that's not really bearable for me. I got all the old problems with buttons responding kind of sluggish or too quick etc. , that's why I bought a MCE remote in the first place and put the imon remote in the dumpster.
Well, if nothing else comes up I guess we have to downgrade and wait till some linux experts figure out a way...if ever. I hope there are enough experienced users with the soundgraph IR product else we will all end up like me with a certain WLAN USB stick that will never EVER work under linux because no one cares. I really like the whole concept of linux and OpenSource in general but sometimes it gets frustrating. Well, shouldn't complain really because it's all for free.
