I am also facing the same problem,
I backed up my old FDI file to lirc.fdi.old and then used the one from above.
Reboot.
However, the problem was still there
Setup:
Intrepid 8.10 AMD64 (Mythbuntu)
2.6.27-5-generic
lirc 0.8.3-0ubuntu2
Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus (same remote control as Nova-T)
my Output from lshal:
...
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_14f1_8802_logicaldev_input'
info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)
info.callouts.add = {'debian-setup-keyboard'} (string list)
info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keys', 'button'} (string list)
info.category = 'input' (string)

...
Apparently the search string for info.product in the new fdi-file was looking
for "IR-Receiver". I edited it and set it to "cx88 IR" instead. Now it works!
I aggree with the others that this should be really fixed soon! This bug
screws basically all Remote Control users ... and give the popularity of
e.g. Mythbuntu this might be a show stopper for a lot of them. I myself
wasted some days trying to get the Remote control working before someone
hinted me at this bug.
Cheers.
