First off, yes, doing everything as root.

$ls -la /dev/input/by-id
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 100 Oct 14 16:53 .
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 300 Oct 14 16:53 ..
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   9 Oct 11 16:15 
usb-Chicony_USB_Keyboard-event-if01 -> ../event4
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   9 Oct 11 16:15 
usb-Chicony_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd -> ../event3
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root   9 Oct 14 16:53 
usb-PHILIPS_MCE_USB_IR_Receiver-_Spinel_plus-event-ir -> ../event9

So event9 appears to be the one. After stopping lircd:

$ir-keytable -t -d /dev/input/event9
Testing events. Please, press CTRL-C to abort.

Still nothing.
