Note that lircd only opens the /dev/input device when a client attaches 
to the daemon (e.g. irw or mythfrontend). There is lots of output so I 
think you should write the output to a file with "-o" and then search 
the results.

OK that is a good sign. As long as lirc was compiled with the header 
file containing this line then it should be using it.
