This bug was about adding the pad2keys patch to lirc_imon. However, the first post shows a link to the imonlcd patch - which does something different. The pad2keys patch still isn't included in ubuntu (I'm currently running lirc-0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7) - so I suppose this issue isn't fixed.

The correct link to the pad2keys patch is: http://brakemeier.de/electronics/vdr/lirc-imon.html

Due to the previous imonlcd patch that was included in ubuntu's lirc, the pad2keys patch doesn't apply cleanly anymore. I applied the changes manually and generated a new patch (file attached). Works fine here.

pad2keys mode is disabled by default, it needs to be enabled with the lirc_imon module option pad2keys_active=1. Some remote codes are different in pad2keys mode, so I copied the lircd.conf.imon-pad to lircd.conf.imon-pad2keys and changed the codes for Up,Left,Down,Right,MouseKeyboard,MouseRightClick and MouseLeftClick accordingly to the instructions on the pad2keys patch page.

Btw, the default lircd.conf.imon-pad2keys file is missing the Power button code: Power 0x289115B7. (It seems to be missing in the MythTV wiki page (link in topmost posting) too)
