I supsect the problem is with the way you're starting lirc.

login is root just to get it working

Do a ps -A | grep lirc*

and kill the lirc process(s)

then do a 

ls -sl /dev/lirc*

if you get lirc0

then do 

lirc -d /dev/lirc0 /etc/lircd.conf

if lirc doesn't start do a which lirc as root the do

/path/to/lirc -d /dev/lirc0 /etc/lircd.conf

then try irw

I'm using a laptop as a remote frontend.  Performs beautifully!  I'm going
to hook it up to my TV as soon as I can get a remote control to work with
it.

I'm trying out an ATI Remote Wonder Plus (5000026900).   Two weeks and many
trials and errors later, I'm about to admit defeat. [or maybe pray that next
week's FC6 will cure all ills!]

I've got a fresh install of FC5 so I can start over.  Here are some data.

I'm hoping somebody out there has some wisdom to share!

"THANKS!" ahead of time!  -- Ojisama -

uname -r
2.6.17-1.2187_FC5

Used ATrpms' "lirc-kmdl-[uname -r]"

I've not edited /etc/modprobe.conf
Also, /etc/lircd.conf is a best guess borrowed from elsewhere.

ls -al /dev | grep lirc
      lirc -> lirc0

    lircd
