Thank you for your advice - I have fiddled with the headers, trying out 
various configurations.

I have come to realize something though - all the codes in the 
lircd.conf has the form "0x0000000000001xyy", where x is either 7 or F 
(perhaps keypress and release respectively I suspect), and yy depends on 
the key.

The interesting part is, that all the "unknown key" statements like the 
one below, has the format "0x3xyy", where x and yy are the same as the 
ones in the lircd.conf - I tried adding the "3"-versions to lircd.conf 
(see example just below) too, but it does not get triggered - am I 
missing something here? How do I map from the dmesg ones to the 
lircd.conf ones?

lircd.conf:  OK 0x00000000000017A5
dmesg:       i2c IR (Hauppauge): unknown key: key=0x25 raw=0x3fa5 down=0
Attempted:   OK 0x00000000000037A5

Also, are there any lirc-users mailinglist or similar where this 
question should more appropriately be posted?

I have already tried to fiddle with the "repeat" settings, but 
afterwards I realized, that these settings has nothing to do with the 
irw output.
