I wonder if inputlirc will be able to gain exclusive access to your device. If it does, then maybe lirc is broken.

* sudo aptitude install inputlirc

* Then modify /etc/default/inputlirc to look like this:

# Options to be passed to inputlirc.
EVENTS="/dev/input/event6"
OPTIONS="-g -m 0"

It's possible you will have to remove the quotes from the OPTIONS line, but try with quotes first.

* sudo /etc/init.d/inputlirc restart

Does irw work out? Does inputlirc capture all events?
