remote help, some buttons not working

[freeballer]

the problem with the how-to on xbmc, or at last the problem I've been having is which configuration file to modify?
The format is actually kind of easy, but I wasn't sure if I should be dealing strictly with lirc, keyboard.xml, remote, Lircdmapping.xml or /etc/lirc/
I could probably plunk away at the receiver codes through debug log but wasn't sure which file, and if needed a specific reference to rc6/mce in remote.conf.

I did try the new lircd.conf file but after I'd done so the /etc/init.d/xbmc script failed, It said could "ERROR: Unable to create application. Exiting"
I had to start xbmc "manually", but didn't have anymore success with the remote buttons. I will try posting again in an hour or two when I get things sorted because now the debug console has zero lines....
