I don't know if this will help you in any way. I have a media center
with a Thermaltake LCD, which besides the LCD (which is actually a
VFD) it includes an imon remote control. I used to have LIRC, and
everything was right.

After kernel 2.6.36 (or similar), LIRC stopped working (I use
vanilla-sources). So I upgraded  to the 3.2 kernel, and selected
IR_IMON in Device Drivers -> Multimedia support -> Remote Controller
adapters.

Now the remote works perfectly, *BUT* I don't have LIRC installed
anymore. The remote works as a keyboard, and I didn't had to configure
anything in XBMC.

I don't see any Hauppauge driver in the Remote Controller adapters
menu in the kernel; but maybe it's called differently. If that's the
case, then you will need LIRC no more; you can use your remote as any
other input device.

Regards.
