Argh... still no output from ir-keytable.

$ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc4/ (/dev/input/event14) with:
         Driver mceusb, table rc-rc6-mce
         Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC
         Enabled protocols: RC-6
         Name: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared
         bus: 3, vendor/product: 0471:0815, version: 0x0000
         Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 33 ms

$ir-keytable -t -d /dev/input/event14
Testing events. Please, press CTRL-C to abort.
^C

ir-keytable -r -d /dev/input/event14
Enabled protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY SANYO LIRC RC-5-SZ SHARP 
MCE_KBD XMP

I have the devinput config file in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf. The receiver 
flashes as I press the remote buttons.
