lsmod tells you the kernel modules loaded,

lsusb will show you all devices on usb, even if they dont have a kernel
driver loaded. the driver loaded determines how it functions

you would have to check lirc.org to check for instructions for your specific
remote. and reciever.

My Remote is an ATI Remote Wonder,

lspci shows
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bc7:0004 X10 Wireless Technology, Inc. X10 Receiver
I check dmesg to see what kernel module loads when I plug in the reciever
and if its not lirc_atiusb I blacklist it (I dont remember what it used to
come up us, typicall usb-hid of some form making sure you arent using a usb
keyboard or mouse that would need that module) then setup lirc to start
loading the module for your specific device,
