Did this, correct. It's also possible to do this as

    ir-keytable -p LIRC

Ah, I get the expected pulse/space codes now.


I have gone back to the config guide, from the top, and I fail at

    $ irdb-get download devinput/devinput.lircd.conf
    $ sudo cp devinput/devinput.lircd.conf  /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d
    $ lircd --device /dev/input/event13 --driver devinput
    $ irw

(I use event11) irw returns "^[[A" etc for arrow keys, and it seems whatever I've defined in /etc/rc_keymaps/rc6_mce that can be displayed (e.g., "p" for the Pause button). But NOT a list like

        $ irw
        000000037ff07bef 00 KEY_VOLUMEUP Acer_Aspire_6530G_MCE

Working down the page:

$ sudo mode2 --driver default --device /dev/lirc0

gives me the same characters as irw, NOT space/pulse lines.

Something, the kernel or X, is still getting in the way.
