Yes, mine is an aftermarket one. I bought it because it costs half the
Microsoft one and looks exaclty the same.
It worked perfectly for watching DVDs with the original Xbox firmware,
before I did the hadrware mod and replaced the rom.
What is bugging me is the error message in dmesg, which I think is a
problem with devfs and has nothing to do with the actual remote.
Here's what the "Xbox DVD receiver and LIRC Mini HOWTO" sais about that:

Now I am curious: is this the reason why my remote doesn't work, or is
it because it's not the original Microsoft remote (and receiver). And in
the latter case, how do I make it work?
The same message is present in Rob's dmesg file, so I was wandering
whether *his* remote was working. And those of you who have a working
remote, do you have the above message in dmesg?
Before tossing the remote away and looking for another one, I'd like to
konw where the problem actually is.

My remote works. I am using the genuine Microsoft remote.
