Hey, nice to hear that.
I made my config file with irrecord. If it can help you:
http://pastebin.ca/958823
It will work for you probably only if you have MCE remote. I also had
my problems with irrecord when I used it first time a few years ago.
Try one more, press the buttons longer etc. If nothing works, check
lirc mailing list.
Here are my codes for the volume knob, although I never use it. I just
looks good :)
WheelRight 0x0001
WheelLeft 0x0100
My LCD have blue background. I set backlight to 200 and it looks
pretty good. Not as good as some black/white VFDs, but it is still
pretty OK.
