Yes, of course I can do this. But I get these messages even if lirc
daemon is stopped. Do you think that's a "proper" behavior?

Sure! I'll get the "missing" scancodes list and will send it to you.
If I get it right, irrecord doesn't work with devinput so the easiest
way is to get the codes from /var/log/messages?

P.S. Is it Ok that 'irw' doesn't show anything as well, even for the
codes known by the driver?

Thanks a lot!
