Hehe, my progress?
It took me a day to get it to work, only to realize it was completely useless with out a patch to make the "pad" work like key events(up = up on keyboard etc). You see the PAD is supposed to act like a mouse but this doesn't work without applying a patch(surprise).
So there is two patches and these patches aren't very well supported/noob friendly:
PAD2Keys: http://brakemeier.de/electronics/vdr/lirc-imon.html
PAD2Mouse: http://venky.ws/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=60
But maybe i just suck at LIRC, after a reboot the remote stopped working and i had to reinstall everything.
So that's my progress so far...
But it would be awesome to get two remotes to work with the same IR recevier then i can let my multi remote learn from the PAD and the XBOX remote.
Here's a thread about the IR receiver you might wanna read, apparently the harmony should "work" :

I only bought the imon inside becasue of the power on feature AFAIK the vista/mce remote doesn't have any power on function right?
