Hi,
I had some issues with getting my remote control to work with KnoppMyth some time ago and I solved them. And was very pleased. (see here: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10066&highlight= )
Now, after a recent clean install, I put R5D1 on my media centre and didn't bother with the remote, as I was intending to upgrade to .20 (following cecil's instructions). Which I duely did and was very pleased with that.
Now, I decided to get my remote working. I copied all the relevent files over into the relevent places. (See the end of my post I've linked to above.)
As I did this, I modified my lircrc to change the functionality of the coloured keys to use the interactive TV.
I cannot get the remote control to work.
From an X-term window (ALT-X) I can su, type
modprobe lirc_12c
lircd
irw
and each button press tells me that they are the correct codes (I press the red button and I get a little message telling me I've pressed RED).
In live TV nothing else works. I tried modifying my hardware.conf to Code: LOAD_MODULES=true but this didn't improve anything. So I changed it back.
Anyone know what else should I do to get this to work again?
Thanks in advance.

I guess its just a typo in your post, but shouldn't it be modprobe lirc_i2c ?
Lirc seems to be very picky with mythfrontend, might be best to start lirc on boot, run: update-rc.d lirc defaults
then reboot and see if the remote works properly 
How did you edit your lircrc file? did you use a windows machine?

I also have the same issue, I think its a new version of lirc thats causing the problem but I haven't had time to investigate.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Its worth noting that the remote does work, just the buttom mapping is wrong, perhaps its looking somewhere else for lircrc?

Since I posted this, I haven't had a chance to do anything about it. Won't this weekend - have a wedding to go to. The weekend after is the start of half term (I'm the teacher btw) and I'll sitdown and have a good go at it then. If you get anywhere in the mean time, let me know!
- Comforting to know I'm not the only one.

Having checked the version of lirc hasn't changed.
Whats most interesting is all my mplayer mappings work and I can change them to prove it.
Also using irw I can confirm the lirc.conf is being used.
This makes me think the process name 'mythtv' is no longer applicable...
Anyone have any ideas why that might have happened or, even better, what it may have changed to

FIXT!
Well after some playing I noticed the modules in hardware.conf had changed. I removed the new lirc_pvr_150 module and rebooted (as restarting lirc doesn't seem to yeld good results for me) instantly my back buttons and the reset of my mappings worked! Wonderful I thought - until I realised the number buttons were not working :/
I used irw to check if they were being decoded, but they weren't.
I quit the mythfrontend and did a cat of /dev/input/event1 (your event number maybe different) and piped it to tee and saved the results of a few button presses into different files. I then did a hexdump of each of the files that looks like this :-
root@falcon:~# hexdump remote6.out
0000000 9a5a 4536 ee2c 000b 0001 0004 0001 0000
0000010 9a5a 4536 ee2f 000b 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000020 9a5b 4536 4f3a 0000 0001 0004 0000 0000
0000030 9a5b 4536 4f3c 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0000040
root@falcon:~#
I soon worked out that the highlighted section is the remote button code. I then created a new lircd.conf using the new values I found, rebooted, and all was good 
Remember you have to follow the steps listed in the guide @ http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6089 then just change the modules line in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to :-
Code: MODULES="lirc_dev" Then replace the lircd.conf with this one:- Code: # Please make this file available to others
# by sending it to <lirc@bartelmus.de>
#
# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.7.2pre1(devinput) on Sat Jun 18 13:18:13 2005

Looks promising. I'll have a look at that this weekend, or early next week.
I'll post how I get on.
Cheers Jynxeh!

Nice1 Jynxeh I'll bookmark this thread ready for when I finally upgrade past R5B7!
Does any1 know why periodically the lircd codes keep changing? Is it different kernel versions?

AAAARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Annoying!!!
found out that the lircrc file was in the wrong place possibly.
fixed this problem by
linking a few files.
/home/mythtv
lircrc -> /home/mythtv/.lircrc
/home.mythtv/.mythtv/
.lircrc -> /home/mythtv/.lircrc
lircrc -> /home/mythtv/.lircrc
after reading a few things i foind the the .lircrc file can be located in a few places.
I deleted it from all of there places execpt one then linked them all to this one.
