I see below that you're using xir.  Does that mean
that you are using a 2.4 kernel and GentooX?  I was
under the impression that with a 2.6 kernel I should
use xboxusb as my lirc driver.  I have to admit that
I'm not very sure which the driver should be as I have
seen mention or xir, atiusb and xboxusb.

Please let me know if you think that that is correct,

Thanks!
