Lirc is conflicted by some default ir-controlling module so that it only sends keyboard input

[Niklas Rosenqvist]

Binary package hint: lirc

I've tried to find a solution for this problem for some time. Apparently Natty loads some default modules for handling IR-input and sends them as keyboard input instead of the lirc event I want. This makes my remote useless in XBMC (media center program) since I cannot use it for anything else than navigation (the actual lirc installation isn't on this computer, it's on my htpc without a browser or desktop). A proposed solution is in this bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/766647) but it is regarding a MCE remote and it doesn't work for my Antec Veris rm200. Until the ubuntu-devs make a permanent fix please tell me how to unload all the conflicting modules?

Hej Niklas ;)

This ios an old bug. Have you still iuterest to advance it? In that case, we need more info on the collisions such as the dmesg output
