IR Remote Control does not work

[netAction]

Hello!

In Gutsy everything worked fine. Now I have Kubuntu Hardy, and the remote of my white 20" Intel iMac does not do a thing.

$ dmesg:
[ 542.645361] hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Device [Apple Computer, Inc. IR Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.3-2

$ lsusb:
Bus 004 Device 010: ID 05ac:8240 Apple Computer, Inc. IR Receiver [build-in]

I searched for hours, but nothing helped.

Someone had a 24" iMac and got it to work in a thread in the archives:

You can also try the MacbookPro wiki instructions:

The first URL deals with another remote, I think.
I do not have to change the source code therefore I do not have to compile anything.

The second URL does not work, too:

$ sudo /usr/bin/irexec
irexec: could not connect to socket
irexec: Connection refused

$ sudo lsinput

I can not see any "Remote".

I tried modprobe appleir, rmmod usbhid. And then I reconnected the keyboard.
