Apparently the search string for info.product in the new fdi-file was looking for "IR-Receiver". I edited it and set it to "cx88 IR" instead. Now it works!
I aggree with the others that this should be really fixed soon! This bug screws basically all Remote Control users ... and give the popularity of e.g. Mythbuntu this might be a show stopper for a lot of them. I myself wasted some days trying to get the Remote control working before someone hinted me at this bug.
I am also facing the same problem,
I backed up my old FDI file to lirc.fdi.old and then used the one from above. Reboot.
However, the problem was still there
Setup:
Intrepid 8.10 AMD64 (Mythbuntu)
2.6.27-5-generic
lirc 0.8.3-0ubuntu2
Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus (same remote control as Nova-T)
