Could you post 'lsusb' output? I may have the same hardware and be able
to test as well.

Title:
  Mythbuntu Control Centre sets DVICO USB remote to wrong /dev

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  New

Bug description:
  Mythbuntu 9.04 - 10.10 (all versions including 0.24-fixes)

  When using Mythbuntu Control Centre to configure a DVICO USB Remote,
  the lirc configurator incorrectly sets the device to /dev/lircX,
  whereupon the remote fails to register in irw or mythtv, or any other
  application

  The correct entry should read 
   REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddevX", e.g.  REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev0"

  The full conf file follows:

  # /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
   #
   #Chosen Remote Control
   REMOTE="DViCO USB Remote"
   REMOTE_MODULES=""
   REMOTE_DRIVER="dvico"
   REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev0"
   REMOTE_SOCKET=""
   REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="dvico/lircd.conf.fusionHDTV"
   REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

   #Chosen IR Transmitter
   TRANSMITTER="None"
   TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
   TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
   TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
   TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""
   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"
   FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
   START_LIRCMD=""

   # Receiver settings required by gnome-lirc-properties
   RECEIVER_MODEL="USB\ Remote"
   RECEIVER_VENDOR="DViCO"
