My DVD remote works just fine with Rob's torrent. I have a genuine

Yes, mine is an aftermarket one. I bought it because it costs half the
Microsoft one and looks exaclty the same.
It worked perfectly for watching DVDs with the original Xbox firmware,
before I did the hadrware mod and replaced the rom.
What is bugging me is the error message in dmesg, which I think is a
problem with devfs and has nothing to do with the actual remote.
Here's what the "Xbox DVD receiver and LIRC Mini HOWTO" sais about that:
A common reason for this to fail is a problem with lirc and devfs
that results in the message:
devfs_register(lirc/0): could not append to parent, err: -17
To resolve this, change line 321 of
<path/to/lirc>/drivers/lirc_dev/lirc_dev.c from
sprintf (name, DEV_LIRC "/%d", ir->p.minor);
to
sprintf (name, DEV_LIRC "%d", ir->p.minor);
and recompile lirc
Now I am curious: is this the reason why my remote doesn't work, or is
it because it's not the original Microsoft remote (and receiver). And
in the latter case, how do I make it work?
The same message is present in Rob's dmesg file, so I was wandering
whether *his* remote was working. And those of you who have a working
remote, do you have the above message in dmesg?
Before tossing the remote away and looking for another one, I'd like
to konw where the problem actually is.
Dunno. I have this in dmesg:
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
devfs_register(lirc/0): could not append to parent, err: -17
lirc_xir: driver registered (minor 0)
And it works just fine. I did NOT recompile LIRC, I used Rob's torrent
as is.
