Sorry, lost your reply in the LKML madness where I have to exist in for
some time... pasting answer from archive, possibly out-of-thread.

Did this, correct. It's also possible to do this as
ir-keytable -p LIRC

Ah, I get the expected pulse/space codes now.
I have gone back to the config guide, from the top, and I fail at
$ irdb-get download devinput/devinput.lircd.conf
$ sudo cp devinput/devinput.lircd.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d
$ lircd --device /dev/input/event13 --driver devinput
$ irw
Here, you mess things up (poorly written guide?). The path we have
entered when using mode2 and pulse/space durations does *not* involve
devinput. It's about "Getting the key symbols using an LIRC driver",
which uses another config file.
But since you *do* have a working setup giving pulse/space durations,
you should actually be fine. The first step is to try one or two
existing config files, found using 'irdb-get find mceusb' (skip the imon
ones). If these does not work, you need to use irrecord(1) to record a
new config file. It is some work, but usually not that hard.
Cheers!
