1) in order to make it work, one has to remove the ir-lirc-codec module AFTER it has been loaded
if one prevents it to load from the beginning (with something like "alias ir-lirc-codec /dev/null") the remote does not work
One has to let it load and THEN remove it, then trying with evtest or ir-keytable the remote seems to work fine
2) I did not manage to make the remote work with lirc yet, but only with inputlirc (while it worked perfectly with lirc with my previous installation of Ubuntu 9.04)
however there are two other issues:
