I feel we are getting close, that seems to work plus I now know its event5. 
But if i type "irw" and press buttons on remote nothing shows.

If I attempt a irrecord myremote.conf I get this error

irrecord -  application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc

Copyright (C) 1998,1999 Christoph Bartelmus(li...@ba...)

irrecord: could not get file information for /dev/lirc
irrecord: default_init(): No such file or directory
irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check
permissions)

So im at a loss, is it still a setup problem or should irw now be showing
something even though irrecord errors????

Thanks for all your help, I fell the solution is near :-))
