My lircd.conf is very similar to this one.  The key codes appear the
same but a couple of the other values are slightly different.

Sounds good if there is anything I can do to try this let me know.

My lircd.conf has a toggle bit of 5 and rc6_mask is omitted compared
to the one on SourceForge.  Whether this makes a difference I do not
know - the remote appears to work fine for me so I either have a
slight variation or lirc does not care what these are set to for it to
work.

Thanks
