I just cant get it to work. ATI remote trouble.

[hondaman <hon...@gm...>]

I have an ati usb remote that came with my 8500 aiw-dv  I am currently 
using fc4 with all the updates, and these rpms:

lirc-0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.rhfc4.at
lirc-lib-0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.rhfc4.at
lirc-devices-0.7.0-1.rhfc4.at
lirc-kmdl-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4-0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.rhfc4.at.i686

Some more info:

[root@hondapvr1 ~]# lsmod |grep ati
lirc_atiusb            16032  0
lirc_dev               12452  1 lirc_atiusb
ati_remote             12233  0

[root@hondapvr1 ~]# ls /dev/lirc*
/dev/lirc  /dev/lircd  /dev/lircm
[root@hondapvr1 ~]# ls -al /dev/lirc*
crw-r--r--  1 root root 61, 0 Jan 17 23:03 /dev/lirc
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root     0 Jan 17 23:03 /dev/lircd
prw-r--r--  1 root root     0 Jan 17 22:52 /dev/lircm

*NOTE: I issued the command manually: mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0 after 
installing the rpms.  It didnt exist after installing the rpms.

When I run lircd, this is in /var/log/messages:
Jan 17 23:15:31 hondapvr1 lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2980]: lircd(userspace) ready

When I run irw, this is what happens:
Jan 17 23:16:07 hondapvr1 lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2980]: accepted new client on 
/dev/lircd
Jan 17 23:16:07 hondapvr1 lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2980]: could not open /dev/lirc
Jan 17 23:16:07 hondapvr1 lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2980]: default_init(): No such 
device
Jan 17 23:16:07 hondapvr1 lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2980]: caught signal

If I try irrecord after restarting lircd:
Jan 17 23:18:02 hondapvr1 lircd-0.8.0-CVS[3005]: lircd(userspace) ready
Jan 17 23:18:07 hondapvr1 irrecord: could not open /dev/lirc
Jan 17 23:18:07 hondapvr1 irrecord: default_init(): No such device

The program doesn't run at all.  As I mentioned earler, I attempted to 
compile from the latest snapshot, and had similar results.  I am really 
frustrated, so some guidance would be greatly appreciated!
