I've been through this lately. This *might* help confirm if it is
kernel or not:
$ sudo hexdump -C /dev/input/event6
When I do that, I typically see lots of lines of output for each
keypress + keyrelease. For example:
$ sudo hexdump -C
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Gyration_Gyration_RF_Technology_Receiver-event-kbd

keycode 00 is release,
01 is press

A few of my keys don't produce this output though, even though deeper
debugging seems to show that the kernel is detecting them properly -
still working on those.
Anyway, if you don't get much output, you might try 8.10 alpha or beta
before putting much more time into it. More remotes are supported in
the new kernel, and the code has changed considerably from 8.04 (so you
won't get much support on that). If it still doesn't work in 8.10, you
can help the kernel guys by recompiling the Ubuntu 8.10 kernel with
debug enabled and collect data on the key presses.
