Binary package hint: lirc

Not entirely sure if this issue is related to lirc or LCDproc, I have both installed on Lucid using a Zalman HD-135 case with the MPlay Blast VFD combined remote/LCD display unit.

Both remote and display work when lirc and LCDproc are configured correctly (see files attached) The machine will boot with the red IR led on the display lit and when Ubuntu loads the unit is initialised and the light goes out (lighting briefly with each key press)

On occasion the machine will boot and the unit does not get initalised, the light will stay lit and the remote will not function (the LCD display still will) Subsequent power downs will not fix the issue, nor does reinstalling lirc/LCDproc.

The ONLY way I can get the remote functioning again is to boot into my XP virtual machine in VirtualBox, enable the usb device and install the windows driver/software. This detects the device and the IR light on the front of the display goes out and the remote starts functioning as usual.
