no it doesn't, not once i've gotten to staging. i should probably move this discussion to the remotes forum though, as occasionally i have a similar issue on my stable build as well... every once in awhile the remote stop working fully or at all, and i reboot a few times and it works.

this message appears in /var/log/lircd

Code:

xbian lircd: WARNING: can't get exclusive access to events coming from `/dev/input/event0' interface

which seems to indicate something else besides lirc is taking control.. google refers to hal, but we're not running hal.... ir-keytables or even cec perhaps?. anyway, i have troubleshot this extensively and am not getting anywhere, but i think i should start a thread in the remotes section as it isn't really a 'bug' in staging. will post more complete info there.

<edit> i just realized i didn't answer you second question, it is not, it is an HP branded mceusb remote with USB IR received, dmesg detects as
