mceusb on the newer version (1.0 beta)

[sharktooth]

Hello, everyone;

I used to have a nice, wonderful, working version of xbian complete with using the mceusb receiver and a learning remote. It was working great until an update completely destroyed it (I can't even get the lirc configuration files off of the old system, and there was nothing in /boot any more). As a result, I had to reinstall, but the only option was xbian 1.0 beta. This wonderful system doesn't follow the old ways of using /etc/init.d, and even then, mode2 no longer shows anything. I know the receiver is receiving because it flashes a light when I press a button.

I now no longer have an /dev/lirc0 device. Using irrecord on event0 gives :

irrecord: gap not found, can't continue
irrecord: closing '/dev/input/event0'

mode2 simply either says it can't handle the /dev/input/event0 hardware :

root@xbian:/home/xbian# mode2 -H devinput -d /dev/input/event0
mode2: initializing '/dev/input/event0'
mode2: WARNING: can't get exclusive access to events coming from `/dev/input/event0' interface
This program does not work for this hardware yet
root@xbian:/home/xbian#

Or it tells me it can't open /dev/lirc0 :

root@xbian:/home/xbian# mode2
mode2: could not get file information for /dev/lirc0
mode2: default_init(): No such file or directory
root@xbian:/home/xbian#

Because irrecord or mode2 are failing, I've scoured the Internet looking for ANYTHING to help me fix this on my own. The tutorials that all call out using mode2 and irrecord have failed for me. Theses documents were used when I set it up last time, too, so I know they are old enough that they probably don't apply any more. Has anyone set up an mceusb with the xbian 1.0 beta system? If so, how did you do it? Are you using a new process?
