ok removed the /etc/lirc directory and then reinstalled lirc again.
sudo apt-get install lirc
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
during reconfigure I picked Windows Media Center remotes /all
and for transceiver I selected none.

after reboot tried the "irw" command still not showing any outputs when I press the remotes buttons.

Try:
This should list up all connected usb peripheral that is connected and
detected. Does it list your HP IR reciever ?
I have a xbox usb dongle and i have from lsusb:
So this should be the first thing you should verify.

Should give you output in terminal window when you press keys on your remote. If not then something is wrong with your setup, either distro,kernel or lirc.

I'd like to add my frustration in adding a Rosewill RRC-126 to my new HTPC running XBMC Live 10.0. I've succeeded in messing things up so badly I had to reinstall, so I'd like to avoid doing that again if at all possible. Here's what I can tell you so far:
lsusb does detect my device as a Formosa Industries Corporation device, but that device is not listed in the lirc configuration file under devices (the vendor is, however, and there are a couple of older(?) devices listed). I tried to add my device and reinstall the lirc package, but that generated errors on the build related to a missing kernel source that I was unable to resolve, and trying to reinstall a new kernel caused even more issues. I feel that this problem would be solved if I had been able to rebuild my lirc and install it, but the kernel issue is new to me, and I haven't had any success finding anyone with a similar problem. I've tried every solution I can find for the kernel problem, but all attempts result in errors (sudo make oldconfig, etc.).
I hope someone can help me add my device and reinstall lirc, because once I get past that, I think I'll be in business!
Thanks in advance,

its cool. I'm leaning towards a fresh install of Dharma just because who knows what i've changed and what I've messed up.
then once I'm fresh I can follow some correct steps and not just poke about hoping for some result.
