I don't see those modules in 3.1.4.  Do you know what section they are in?

Thx. Again, I can see that the remote is being picked up by evtest.  I
believe I solved at least a bit of the problem, in that the keymap table
was empty, so I was just getting SCAN codes when I ran evtest. After
inserting a keymap table I'm able to get KEY codes on evtest, but still
nothing with irw.  I'm assuming this must be because I'm missing the
ir-kbd module...but I just don't see it.

I'd be happy to contribute a detailed write-up if I could get this working
:).  -P
