Try running 'mode2 /dev/usb/hiddev0' and pressing buttons.  If you get
output on button presses, try recording a new lircd.conf with the dvico
driver:
irrecord -H dvico -d /dev/usb/hiddev0 ./lircd.conf-test
Follow the instructions and move the generated config to /etc, then try
running lircd with the dvico driver.  Send this lircd.conf to one of
the lirc dev's if it works.
