Sorry about the slow reply, I've been busy.

Ok, maybe we're getting somewhere now.  irrecord does not work, it
says it can't connect to the device.  I've tried it both with and
without lircd running (I assume its not supposed to be running).  I've
tried it with various flags forcing raw mode and explicitly passing
the device file.  I've also tried it as both a regular user and root.

So if everything else seems to show the remote as being there (modules
load, lircd starts fine, ivtv sees ir receiver, etc...) and irrecord
says it cannot init the hardware, where do I stand?
