Try:

irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 lircd.conf

if it doesn't work use whatever lirc device you have in /dev instead 
of /dev/lirc0.
after running the command copy lircd.conf to /etc
kill the lircd process
do an rmod lirc-i2c

reload the lirc-i2c module
restart lircd

Now if you run irw hopefully when you press keys the buttons you press should 
be displayed.
