Bug Description

Binary package hint: lirc

I use Elmak remote. In Hardy this remote worked fine and i can use all possible remote's keys. After upgrade to 9.04 this same remote stops work. Not really, it works, but currently i cannot use all keys. IRW returns some keys and some not, for example :
pawel@MediaCenter:~$ irw
6a 1 KEY_RIGHT event6
6c 0 KEY_DOWN event6
77 0 KEY_PAUSE event6
d0 0 KEY_FASTFORWARD event6
but when i pres '5' irw doesn't return anything :/

Below some copy from terminal :
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I don't know what is wrong. I've read many topics , change /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and recently i've fallowed this dirrections ( i also don't have /dev/lirc0 ) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallLirc/Hardy ( part Adding support for more remotes ) but it doesn't resolve my problem.
Looking forward for Your help.
