LIRCD not loading correct remote profile

[matt h <ma...@gm...>]

Hi, My mce remote had been working fine with lircd for the past 3 weeks or
so
when I would run irw i would get lines like :

> 000000037ff07bd9 00 Guide mceusb
> 000000037ff07bde 01 Right mceusb
>
using mceusb my remote worked perfectly

But when I came home one day the IR receiver light was on constantly and
would respond to any input from my remote,
to get any kind of response from it I had to kill lircd unplug the receiver,
then replug it and restart LIRCD.

After doing that my remote would only half work, and running irw again
instead of getting mceusb I get lines like:

> 000000037ff0ebe1 00 Up vista_mce
> 000000037ff0ebe1 00 Up_UP vista_mce

000000037ff06bde 00 Right vista_mce
> 000000037ff06bde 00 Right_UP vista_mce



So for some reason my remote is being detected as vista_mce, instead of
mceusb like it was before when working fine.

Is there any way to force lircd to use mceusb instead of vista_mce?
or is there any other way to fix this?
Thanks for any help
