lircd.conf or irrecord question

Hello there,
Curious if anyone had reprogrammed a JP1 capable remote, such as the One
For All URC-6131n, to provide for more keys than is on the original
Microsoft Remote. Using remote code 0522, I can easily get all the
original xbox buttons duplicated, but I hoped for more functionality.
I think I can figure out to program the remote, but my main question is
how to configure lircd by updating the lircd.conf file. Specifically,
how does one determine the hexadecimal data value for a new button
that was not originally on the Microsoft remote? For instance when I
run irw and press normal xbox remote keys programmed into the universal
remote, I can see that lirc sees all the keys which were mapped in the
lircd.conf file. But for enhanced keys that I want to use, irw does not
output anything as I expected since there are no key-values pairs in the
lircd.conf file.
I started down the path of attempting to run irrecord, but I get the
following error:
#xbox:~# irrecord test
#irrecord - application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc
#Copyright (C) 1998,1999 Christoph Bartelmus(lirc at bartelmus.de)
#irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check
permissions)
I verified that lircd is running. I figured I would ask for some help
after investing several hours.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
