Yes. lircd do start if I don't use any options.

root     17384     1  0 15:45 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd

[root at mythfe01 egge]# ls -la /dev/lirc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     5 Mar 26 18:53 /dev/lirc -> lirc0
crw------- 1 root root 61, 0 Mar 26 18:53 /dev/lirc0
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root     0 Mar 28 15:46 /dev/lircd

I have this, but get no reaction whatsoever when running irw, which is 
why I though I need to start lircd with --device=imon. Which doesn't work 
at all. Shouldn't I be able to see *something* when running irw and 
pressing buttons on the remote, even if I don't have the correct 
lircd.conf or .lircrc? 

I really doubt it is the cable, as the VFD works just fine, which is on 
the same cable connected to the internal USB port.
