[Bug 425389] Re: Not works with Apple Remote on MacBook Pro 5,5

[Jesus Miguel Mercado Murillo]

The things are going better (not quite)
With the version 0.3.1-0ubuntu2 the terminal's messages are:

The Auto-detect button now chooses "Apple receiver (0x8242)". The bottom
message changed to :"Press remote control buttons to test: <none>", but
the bottom message never changes, neither when any controller's buttons
are pressed.

With the new version there are no problems related with DBus. But it
seems there are not communication with the controller and the program.

Maybe  these files could help to find where is the problem:
-- /etc/lirc/hardware.conf --

START_LIRCD=true

I wanted to check if lirc's daemon was working. I did the following:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc stop
 * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC                                                                                                            [ OK ] 
$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start
 * Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC                                                                                                            [ OK ] 

In the program the field Device is refering to /dev/usb/hiddev0, so I did the following:
$ sudo cat /dev/usb/hiddev0

                  �
                   �
                    
All these characters appear when a controller's button is pressed.
