It would help with the flooding, most probably, though there was a patch

for that available before.
As for LIRC not picking up the event, I would be tempted to say no, it
won't help.
Are you certain that your LIRC is configured properly? Are you certain
that your event number is the right one?

I believe so... in so far as I can tell... I sent an email to this list about a week ago describing my problems, but there was no response. (subject: Compro Videomate U500). I've copied it below:
Hi all,
I've still been trying to get the inluded remote with my USB DVB-T Tuner working. It's a Compro Videomate U500 - it useses the dibcom 7000 chipset. After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) I can now see the remote when I do a "cat /proc/bus/input/devices":
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=185b Product=1e78 Version=0100
N: Name="IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:02.1-4/ir0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000
Just looking through /var/log/syslog and noticed that it is filled with messages such as this:
Feb 10 14:00:17 matthew-desktop kernel: [ 6549.313822] dib0700: Unknown remote controller key : 1E 42
Feb 10 14:00:18 matthew-desktop kernel: [ 6549.389724] dib0700: Unknown remote controller key : 1E 42
Feb 10 14:00:18 matthew-desktop kernel: [ 6549.465623] dib0700: Unknown remote controller key : 1E 42
Feb 10 14:00:18 matthew-desktop kernel: [ 6549.542087] dib0700: Unknown remote controller key : 1E 42
Feb 10 14:00:18 matthew-desktop kernel: [ 6549.617927] dib0700: Unknown remote controller key : 1E 42
There seems to be about 5 such messages every second, and the controller key listed at the end (1E 42 in this case) changes depending on the last button pressed on the remote. The same messages appear on dmesg. Obviously, as the code changes, the remote is being picked up by the kernel, but not being acted upon correctly. Is this normal, and does this mean something is working/not working? As stated above, I am still unable to get irrecord to show anything etc... I can't get it to work with or without lirc...
Any ideas?

However, I get now output running irrecord:

Hold down an arbitrary button.

Likewise, if I start lirc with the following: "sudo /usr/sbin/lircd -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event7 -n" and then run irw, it will run fine but there will be no output at all.
