First of all THANK YOU Michael!!!
After following your instructions, the xbox dvd remote worked!
But under irw every button spits out some output.
Now my only problem is that when I use "irw" and analyse the output, most of
the buttons are recognised under the same button name, ie BTN_B. I have
checked the lircd.conf file and added in some custom elements to no avail.
I have tired other versions specifically for the xbox remote to no avail,
irw crashes when it detects anything but the lircd file you specified.

onf
I have tried multiple versions of the above file, mainly differing in bit
size.
Any help would be appreciated, Thankyou!
P.S (I have also tried irrecord, but it says it cannot detect the gap??)

As far as I understand from a bit of googling, it should show up in
/proc/bus/input/devices (send the output of
"cat /proc/bus/input/devices" if you are unsure).

Probably it's not yet configured.
There's a lircd.conf file for the input layer in
<http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/linux-input-layer-lircd.conf>
- download that file and name it /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
A working hardware.conf file for Ubuntu:
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
#
# Arguments which will be used when launching lircd
LIRCD_ARGS=""
#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=evdev
# Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.
DRIVER="dev/input"
# If DEVICE is set to /dev/lirc and devfs is in use /dev/lirc/0 will be
# automatically used instead
DEVICE="/dev/input/eventX"
MODULES="lirc_dev evdev"
# Default configuration files for your hardware if any
LIRCD_CONF="/etc/lirc/lircd.conf"
LIRCMD_CONF=""
########### end of /etc/lirc/hardware.conf ###########
Instead of
DEVICE="/dev/input/eventX"
use the correct event device (see the output of
"cat /proc/bus/input/devices").
Now
/etc/init.d/lirc start
should work and you should see some output if you start "irw".
Regards...
Michael
