I'm saying that if I load lirc_dev, then lirc_atiusb, then lircd, then 
irxevent. irxevent won't receive any keypresses (neither will irw).

I can play with recompiling the modules and reloading and stuff, but it's hard 
to trigger (tried for about an hour today, then gave up, and on the next 
reboot it was there). I'll try to test some more later. I have a preemtive 
kernel if that makes a difference.
