i restarted the daemon (no errors) and got:
Aug 8 22:55:13 xxx lircd-0.8.4a[1894]: caught signal
Aug 8 22:55:13 xxx lircd-0.8.4a[4532]: lircd(default) ready
in the daemon.log
i tried the chmod and mode2, which works, but i don't get anything when i try clicking the buttons on the remote. Maybe it's because im using a Apple MacBook remote instead of an Apple MacMini remote. I'd really like it if that remote worked but i also got a remote with the computer which says Asus (RC1462803/01B on the back), but i have no idea which one it is and what i should do to test it.
Thanks for all the help. When in ubuntu, did you by chance test the spdif audio?

You who have the asus pundit remote and have got it working, how does your hardware.conf look like? Which remote choise did you select?
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
#Chosen Remote Control
REMOTE="ITE IT8712/IT8705 CIR port"
REMOTE_MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_it87"
REMOTE_DRIVER=""
REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF=""
REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""
#Chosen IR Transmitter
TRANSMITTER="None"
TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""
#Enable lircd
START_LIRCD="true"
#Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
#START_LIRCMD="false"
#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="true"
# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCMD_CONF=""
#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
#frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
#It will then populate all other variables without any user input
#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
#to leave this set to "false"
# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCMD_CONF=""
#Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
#If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
#that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
#frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
#It will then populate all other variables without any user input
#If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
#to leave this set to "false"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
START_LIRCMD=""
I'm a bit confused, first when i install the real version of lirc i select the remote and when i install the pre1 version i select the irDa receiver?
Thanks a lot with the sound, works perfectly!!

what does your lircd.conf look like?
What is the easiest way of reinstalling lirc? so i can get the options where i select the remote etc.

my hardware.conf and lircd.conf looks exactly like yours' now but still no luck when i do mode2... Might be a stupid question but i don't need to do anything with the transmitter to be sure it is active and waiting for signals? Would be nice to know that thing is working atleast.
