I'm 90% home, but I had a small diversion.  I picked a remote and driver 
through the Infrared Devices menu and it replaced this:

(/etc/sysconfig/lirc)
LIRC_DRIVER="devinput"
LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/input/by-id/usb-PHILIPS_ATI_Theater_Remote_Receiver-event-kbd"

....with this

LIRCD_OPTIONS='-r -H devinput -d /dev/input/event2'

When that happened, irw gave me buttons, not codes (press 1,2, 3 and it 
displays 1,2,3); so that's solved.  Now most of the buttons give codes 
in irw, but some do nothing.  I tried playing with /etc/lirc/lircd.conf 
but it must not be the right file to edit...nothing I did had any 
effect.  I would like to experiment with the codes, do you know which 
file I need to edit?
