None of those would work with your hardware.

(General wondering) Does LIRC no longer use the /dev/input driver for
such devices? I don't remember seeing anything to the contrary, but
there have been a lot of LIRC woes recently and a lot of changes as
LIRC moves further into the kernel.

How have you configured LIRC?

If their /dev/input/eventN nodes move around on boot it could cause
problems. You'll either need to configure LIRC to use a persistent
device node that doesn't change, or use a udev rule to create one for
this purpose.

Cheers,
Nick
