install lirc

~]$ su -c 'yum install -y lirc'

and then... good luck...

Try the following to test a configuration (mine) and post back:

Copy http://lirc.sourceforge.net/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput as 
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf (root privileges needed).

In a terminal start the lircd daemon (root privileges needed):
~]$ su -c 'lircd --device=/dev/input/event7 --driver=devinput -n'

the --device switch is according to your info. The --driver may be differt 

In another terminal run irw (as normal user)l:

~]$ irw /var/run/lirc/lircd

and start pressing buttons.
Do yo get some output?
