That's bad.

Nope. Using the devinput driver (or rather, using lirc) will allow the
use of irexec. If you don't want to support irexec you could just
disable lirc, the remote works without it.

Now, I'm basically lost. You have the correct driver and device. There
is also input as expected on the event device. With a modern lirc you
would have

  - logging available
  - debug possibilities using mode2
  - and working docs...

but with this ancient 0.9.0 I just don't know. I presume the logs are
empty, and that ir-keytable -t still reports /dev/input/event8 (?)


Cheers!
