If you are using the dev/input then the attached message may help as I
was getting very poor response from my PVR-350 remote until I switched
to the dev/input driver.

Since then I updated the lirc.conf and ir_kbd_i2c files and have
attached there too.

These are the setting for by boot script
#! /bin/bash
# Begin /etc/sysconfig/lircd

export LIRC_EVENT=4
export LIRC_DEVICE=/dev/input/event${LIRC_EVENT}
export LIRC_DRIVER=dev/input
LIRCD_OPTS="-H devinput -d /dev/input/event2"

# End /etc/sysconfig/lircd

The is the LinuxFromScratch boot script that I use.

I wouldn't expect it to work "out of the box" for your set-up but it may
help.
