SoundGraph imon - MCE Remote & MCE Keyboard

[roundhay]

I am using mythbuntu 8.10 and have been happily using the Microsoft MCE remote and the receiver that came with it for the last few months. As I had a separate IR receiver and there was a IR receiver in the SoundGraph imon I could not get the MCE remote at start up. To solve this I followed the instruction in the following thread:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892647&page=2

This uses udev to separte the MCE USB reciever from the iom reciever

Basically you would use :-
sudo udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/lirc0)
sudo udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/lirc1)

to find unique differences between the lirc devices and then get udev to create a consistent symlink

Now that I am happy that I have a working system I have decided that it is time to try and get the LCD of the imon working and the MCE keyboard. I followed the following threads (my imon is the 15c2:ffdc version)

1. MCE Keyboard
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=782889&highlight=mce+keyboard

Success!! The MCE Keyboard works.....

2. LCD & LCDproc
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1069267
I only followed the first part to get the LCD working

Success!! The LCD now displays info and I have mythtv communicating with it

Problem - The MCE Remote no longer works!

I have read a lot of threads on various forums and blogs but I have found one which explains how to get all three of these working. Can anyone help?
