      Argh... still no output from ir-keytable.

      I have the devinput config file in /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.

    After all that hassle I think this just boils down to a problem with
    the remote configuration file I was using. I used irrecord to start
    a partial config file and viola! irw produces output:
    <br>
    <br>
    0000000000000001 00 BTN_SELECT recorded.conf
    <br>
    0000000000000001 00 BTN_SELECT recorded.conf
    <br>
    0000000000000002 00 BTN_RIGHT recorded.conf
    <br>
    0000000000000002 00 BTN_RIGHT recorded.conf
    <br>
    0000000000000002 00 BTN_RIGHT recorded.conf
    <br>
    0000000000000003 00 BTN_LEFT recorded.conf
    <br>
    <br>
    Note that I did this after *undoing* the devinput configuration:<br>
    <br>
    LIRC_DRIVER=""<br>
    LIRC_DEVICE=""<br>
    <br>
    Now the configuration I have been using for <b class="moz-txt-star"><span
        class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>years<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>
    is a Scientific Atlanta 3250. Now there <b class="moz-txt-star"><span
        class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>is<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>
    a configuration in the database for this remote but it doesn't
    appear to work with LIRC 0.9.0. Seems like everything in the
    database has been generated well before 0.8.6.
    <br>
    <br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/scientific_atlanta/3250">http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/scientific_atlanta/3250</a><br>
    <br>
    So the /dev/lirc0 interface is working. What was not working was my
    remote configuration from 0.8.7.<br>
    <br>
    This is a remote that I could use with a cheap programmable remote
    *and* that had the A, B, C, D buttons I've come to depend on. I
    copied the base config and it caused errors on loading requiring the
    removal of the TV/VCR section.<br>
    <br>
    So I either need to pick a new remote that is both programmable on
    my physical remote and has A, B, C, D buttons or I need to irrecord
    a new setup off of the generic RC-5 configuration.<br>
