See my reply in this thread (just a couple of hours ago...must be "bad 
remote Friday" or something):

In that particular case, my answer may not have been helpful, since I 
mistakenly misunderstood that it was _all_ the buttons not working. But 
in your case, because some are working and some aren't, it is most 
definitely the lircrc file. Once you get the output from irw for the 
buttons you want working, and open up the lircrc file, you'll find it's 
pretty self-evident where to put those codes.
