Thanks Richard! Alec: Regarding your request on the other thread to
increase the log level and start lircd, and try irw, I made sure my
lirc_options.conf had:

loglevel       = 7
logfile = /root/lirc.log

I use sysklogd and I'd have to figure out how to reoconfigure that to
show debug level output. With the above, I do get logging to that
file, but it doesn't appear any different than what I was getting:

That's the startup, the attempts at irw, and ending irw. Is lircd
ignoring it's own log level when logging to a file??
