Comment 18 for bug 218955

I wasn't sure should I reply this, but I didn't find a place to reply in forum

I didn't installed you fix before my kernel was upgraded from 17 to 18.
Then I first try to do the workaround I did before, but it didn't work anymore.
Then I try to fix it all the way came to my mind, but I didn't removed lirc because it had so many dependensies. I removed lirc-sources and sources is not istalled right now.

Now mce remote control work (and irw of course) when I start computer, but the keyboard won't and I cannot discover why. If I do
  sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
  sudo /etc/init.d/lircd restart (I'm not sure is this needed)
  and replug the usb lirc receiver
the mce keyboard start to work again and the remote also.
but after reboot only mce remote wil is still working not the keyboard

Do I still need lirc_mod_mce.ko module or should the keyboard work too with lirc_mceusb2 only?

Can you suggest how to repair this?
Should I still upgrade the fix like Martin Pitt today wrote?

Thanks for the great job to fix this,

Harri Toivonen
