Talking from my experience with lirc.
I do not have a /dev/lirc device.
The IR port shows on my DVB-T card and appears as /dev/input/eventX
I have three DVB-T cards in my HTPC, so the X in the /dev/input/eventX
keeps changing. As such I have created a udev entry in
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules with
ID=="input*", BUS=="input", SYSFS{name}=="cx88 IR (digitalnow DNTV
Live! ", SYMLINK+="irremote"
as the DVB-T card I want to use is a CX88 card. This will create a
/dev/irremote as a link to the proper /dev/input/eventX. Making it
easier for future usage.
Then I've configured lirc in /etc/sysconfig/lirc as:
LIRCD_OPTIONS="-H dev/input -d /dev/irremote"
# If "yes", the init script will try to start lircmd(8) too.
ENABLE_LIRCMD="no"
# Options to lircmd(8).
LIRCMD_OPTIONS=""

And I'm running the lircd process at boot time.
This works well in my case.
I suspect that your IR port just shows up as a /dev/input/event entry
just the same.
Look in the dmesg.
All my DVB-T adapters have an IR interface.
You see message like this in dmesg:
input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/input2
...
input: cx88 IR (digitalnow DNTV Live! as /class/input/input3
...
input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/input4
If that's the case, you will need to run lircd like I did and modify
the /etc/sysconfig/lirc configuration accordingly.
The /etc/lircd.conf is only used to match a code name to an IR signal,
it doesn't define in anyway how the IR port is configured or where to
find it.
