Can anyone assist me with getting the Ortek VRC-1100 working on Gentoo.  
Everything I read seems to be Ubuntu related with hardware.conf files 
and what not.  Gentoo doesn't have that.  I've seen some info on using 
devinput but I don't think I have my kernel, my udev rules, and other 
stuff configured correctly.  irw does nothing and mode2 says it doesn't 
work with this hardware yet.  Please help.  Thanks!

Here's what I have:

Kernel:

CONFIG_IR_LIRC_CODEC=y
CONFIG_RC_CORE=y
CONFIG_RC_MAP=y
CONFIG_RC_DECODERS=y

in make.conf:

in /etc/conf.d/lircd

LIRCD_OPTS="-H devinput -d /dev/input/irremote0"  # also tried irremote1

use that

section as well)
