Hi, thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, devinput.lircd.dist file doesn't exist (also, lircd.conf.d directory is not available inside /etc/lirc) and I've no ideas how to generate it (lirc-make-devinput does not even exist).

The following command:

lircd --device /dev/input/event4 --driver devinput

returns:

lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
lircd: No such file or directory

and irw command, returns:

connect: No such file or directory

(btw, sudo ir-keytable -t -d /dev/input/event4 command detects scan codes and key symbols)

I don't know how to get irw running.

Waiting for a reply,

Regards,

Cristian.
