My configuration is for the 0038 USB version of the LCD ...
it uses two different lirc source and you also need to use my lirc
startup script that starts the two lirc daemon

you may not have that version of the LCD driver

getting irrecord to work reliably for my remote was difficult as there
is two lirc device required for my LCD IR sensor and remote.
if you start irrecord on one lirc device and you send a signal for the
other lirc device, then the first lirc device stop working (it won't
work until you flush the buffer of both lirc device)
the only way I know on how to flush the buffer is doing rmmod on lirc
and then add the module again.

so pretty much what i was doing was start irrecord. as soon as it
stopped working, i killed irrecord, unload/reload the lirc module and
restart
took me a while, but I got there
