Instead of using lirc you could use in-kernel decoding, IIRC the rc5
decoder supports both rc5 and rc5x.

Just run "ir-keytable -p rc5 -t" then press buttons and see if you get
scancodes. If that works you could create a keymap file with the
scancode <-> key mapping and then - depending on your application -
just read the keys from stdin or the input event device or let
lirc in devinput mode or inputlirc translate the linux input events
to lirc events.
