 I"d have thought that if you"re getting dots in irrecord you"re almost home. 
 Have you kept pressing buttons until you fill up 2 lines of the sreen? When 
 you"ve got that far irrecord then asks you to  enter a text label for a key 
 and then press it. It keeps asking you repeatedly until you"ve told it about 
 all the keys on your remote and then you exit. On exit it creates a conf 
 file for lircd in the file you specified on the irrecord command line.
 
 Once you have that file you can start the lircd daemon and configure your 
 .lircrc to assign commands to button presses.
