Remote not working since yesterday's upgrade

[obo]

I've got the same problem as the users above, with my mceusb remote only recognising the cursor keys -- from the console they're seen as the usual cursor escape sequences.

I've been running 1.0a5 and later nightly releases without any problems, and the trouble only started when I upgraded to 1.0 beta 1.1 this evening. I was also getting the same /etc/init.d/lirc shell errors as above, though I tried manually setting some values in /etc/lirc/hardware/custom.conf to clear them up. I haven't managed to improve the remote functionality though.

To check, I've just done a clean install of 1.0 beta 1.1, and unfortunately the remote has the same problem. The only clue I have so far is that 1.0a5 actually handled the device as 'linux-input-layer', and maybe the new version is trying to use the proper 'mceusb'.

I had a quick poke at it using 'irw', and it's giving output for some other keys, though not essential ones like the OK button. It's been a while since I've done any lirc diagnostics so I'd appreciate further suggestions on diagnosing this
