The '-d' option for lircd should be followed by a device name (such as
/dev/lirc or /dev/lirc0 depending on which you have). The default is
/dev/lirc. Depending on how your udev is setup, you should normally on
FC get both a /dev/lirc device and a /dev/lirc0 symlink created when
the modules are loaded.

Do a 'll /dev/lirc*' to see what devices you've got, then try to run
lircd again with the correct device name. I'm using FC4 with lirc and
have an init script (which in turn uses /etc/sysconfig/lircd for any
option you want to pass to lircd).
