Missing something basic no doubt

[James B H. <jb...@ju...>]

Folks,
  Have been using lirc for like forever, anyway I got new Raspberrypi-
5, it is replacing a RPI-4B, unplug one, plug in
the other. The MCEUSB receiver and remote I was using (and it works) is
the same one I am still using.

Issue, I have ZIPPO output showing up in IRW.

I see the data coming in via mode2:
   pi@rpi-5:/usr/lib/systemd/system $ mode2
   Using driver default on device /dev/lirc0
   Trying device: /dev/lirc0
   Using device: /dev/lirc0
   pulse 650
   space 52200
   pulse 650
   space 52250
   pulse 650
   timeout 127000
   
ir-keytable sees the device:
   pi@rpi-5:~ $ ir-keytable

however irw sees nothing:

lircd loads, read config fine, and knows the remotes:

Relevent portion of lirc_options.conf:
   [lircd]
   nodaemon = False
   driver = default
   device = /dev/lirc0
   output = /var/run/lirc/lircd
   pidfile = /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
   plugindir = /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/lirc/plugins
   permission = 666
   allow-simulate = No
   repeat-max = 600
   logfile = /var/log/lirc.log
   
I have moved the devinput config out of the way
(/etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/devinput.lircd.conf to
devinput.lircd.conf.DIST)

Oh, and IR Blasting out of the things works correctly...Last but not
least, the mceusb module is loaded, and so is the cec module (even
thouogh I blacklisted it in /etc/modeprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf).....
   pi@rpi-5:/var/log $ lsmod|grep cec
   cec 65536 1 vc4
   pi@rpi-5:/var/log $ lsmod|grep mceusb
   mceusb 49152 0
   


Anyone have a clue either what I've done wrong, or how to troubleshoot
this ?

pi@rpi-5:/var/log $ uname -r
