James, I also have a new style MCE2005 remote There are several different vendors that provide these remotes, so I sent in an extra vendor ID for my remote to the person who did the patch allowing MCE2005 remote's drivers to be built. His patch hasn't actually hit the lirc patches because it apparantly can't coexist with the MCE2004 remote driver.
Now, I ran into the same blockade you did that it semi works, but not nearly enough to be satisfactory. What did you do about it? I was told to try a pre-emptive kernel, but that just jeopardized the stability of my AMD64 system pretty badly. Did you find something else that works?
