Hm... tried? Did you give irrecord the chance to determine this on iẗ́s 
own, or did you use a generic template?

That said, it seems things are getting through. This is a Good Sign, indeed.

Something is rotten here... You don't have any fluorescent light around, 
have you?

However, a raw config file could be used exactly as a normal one. If you 
take your file with just a few buttons, copies it to 
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf and then runs lircd + irw and checks those buttons?
