I think this guy was wrong.

So with 0.8.7 I was using the LIRC interface. It sounds like with 0.9.0 
I need to move to the devinput interface. /etc/sysconfig/lirc:

LIRC_DRIVER="devinput"
LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/input/event14"

But you have the udev rule to provide a stable /dev/input name. Would 
you share that please.

I'm also told that for testing I use ir-keytable instead of irw.
