All is not lost yet. Put your credit card away for the moment :)

The two configs you posted are configured to use the following input devices:

/dev/input/event2 (config A)
/dev/input/irremote (config B)

Does the IR input on your card map to either of these inputs? The
second device (/dev/input/irremote) is likely to have been created by
a udev rule - is this still in place and working?

Based on your previous posts, you most likely want to configure LIRC
to use either:

/dev/input/event6

or

/dev/input/event7

depending on which Nova-T card the IR receiver is plugged in to. These
devices are likely to swap around on boot, and also if you remove or
add any additional input devices, so it is better to specify a
persistent deviec name that does not change. You could quickly try
each of these in turn though, stopping and restarting lircd between
attempts to see if things improve. You will need the lircd.conf for
your remote in place, and should test with irw once lircd is running.

You can list all current input devices with:

$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices


With two identical cards you may be best off long term by specifying
the IR input to use with a /dev/input/by-path/pci-.... device name,
rather that the more conventional /dev/input/eventX name you see
above. These devices names live in the /dev/input/by-path/ directory
and are specific to the hardware they represent. As long as you choose
the correct card (it might be trial and error here to determine which
of the two cards the receiver is attached to, but generally PCI slot
addresses increase the further from the the center of the board you
move) your remote should also be bound to the correct Nova-T card.

Cheers,
Nick
