For starters, here is what I'm working with:

xbian v.1.0 beta 3
xmbc 2.0-ALPHA7 Git:20121106-f3945b4
platform: arm (raspberry pi)
Kernel: 3.6.7

This is the default kernel, xbmc version for xbian 1.0 beta 3.
Several usefull buttons like: volume down, mute, back, fwd, rew, pause do NOT work.
Admitedly, I'm a little rusty with linux. I bought the raspberry to toy with, and have a media center in my bedroom.

Here's some outputs you might want/need, and the pastebin for my xbmc.log.
(I pressed these buttons 5x each if that helps). I'm just not sure where to start
I hope someone has a little patience to help me out? I'd really appreciate it

[freeballer]

There are no markings/brandings on front, but I beleive its a gateway MCE remote, inside it says rc6 rc1534533/01g

You can try to paste this file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xshcgppcy5gn2xa/remote.xml
in the "...xbmc/userdata/keymaps" folder. That might work. Otherwise, see if your tv supports hdmi-cec and if yes, you can use your tv's remote to control the pi.
