limited functionality

The remote does work in lion, however the menu function on the remote (my favorite for my mac mini) no longer functions...

I bought a my first Mac (mid-2011 iMac) pre-installed with Lion, and ordered a remote at the same time. I've since discovered that you can't do much other than change the volume with it. Front Row, the remote-friendly interface, was removed from Lion.

There's a small hack to get it back if you can nab some files from Leopard though:

If like me you started with Lion, no such luck!

In all seriousness, does my remote do anything useful other volume controls, pause and play in iTunes?

It should work with DVD player.
