Getting remote control working

[stapo101]

Hi Guys,

I've had my Fit-pc2 for a few days now and am primarily interested in using it as a HTPC running Boxee. I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 following the guide on the Wiki and have now also got Boxee up and running.

Now, time to use a remote control so I can get rid of the clunky USB keyboard....

I can't find anything online to help me set up a remote. I'm guessing I have to use LIRC. I installed that and ran the gui but it wants to know what make/model of IR receiver I have. I can;t find anything on the Fit-PC specs that tell me what the built in IR receiver is.

Someone must have had teh same problem as me.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Chris
