@herrmidnquer: actually, several Soundgraph remotes (including the -PAD
models) register themselves as two separate modules (see minor:0 and
minor:1 in my log above).  One is the "normal" remote function, and the
other is the "pad" - a mouse-like input device with movement keys and
buttons, controlled from the same remote.

When I run irw it simply exits the 1st time without any message, the second time it errors and the lirc daemon crashes.

root@mediapc:~# /etc/init.d/lirc restart

I do not have a /dev/lirc0 but I do have /dev/lircd.
Running irw /dev/lircd does not help.

Mode 2 errors:

root@mediapc:~# mode2
mode2: error opening /dev/lirc
