Maybe this is an Ubuntu vs Fedora thing? When I start lircd I still don't
see a /dev/lircd but I do see the /var/run/lirc/lircd socket.

Even with lircd running I see nothing.

It seems that there's some duplicate configuration happening between
/etc/sysconfig/lirc and /etc/lirc/hardware.conf. Does one take precedence
over the other?

At the moment it's unclear as to whether the kernel or lircd should be
handling this, and I haven't seen a clear explanation in any of the
documentation yet.

Grrr.

Any other suggestions? This is amazingly frustrating.
