Hi,

Thanks for this.  I've tried everything suggested, including

- downloaded lirc 0.8.7 and rebuilt it (just with the devinput driver)
- downloaded the recommended devinput file
- booted into init level 1 (so no hal in the way)

And still irw doesn't output anything :(.  If I "cat /dev/input/event5" 
I see it printing garbage, and lirc is configured to use devinput with 
/dev/input/event5.

Stumped.

Nige.
