I have attached my /etc/lircd.conf which states "For use with the USB MCE
ir receiver". 

When i run irw and press the "OK" key on the remote it outputs the following 
code: "0......07bdd" to standard output(you should see this in your xterm) 

In my lircd.conf the line for "OK" shows : "OK 0x00007bdd" so i know my 
lircd.conf corresponds to my remote etc.
