New system and Lirc will not work.

Hello,

Ive just installed a fresh arch linux install (due to a hardware failure, Ive learnt the value of a backup the hard way) and got it all up and running as I want it apart from the remote.

Im running on an Asrock ION330HT. There is a lot of information out there about the remote on this machine however none of it seems to work now. Im curious if this is due to anything to do with the migration to systemd? My previous system was still on init.

Here is the output of a few commands ive been recomended to run but its all a bit much for me to figure out.

[chris@Chimera scripts]$ cat /sys/class/input/event?/device/name
Power Button

Nuvoton w836x7hg Infrared Remote Transceiver
MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (nuvoton-cir)
PC Speaker
Chicony USB Wireless HID Receiver
Chicony USB Wireless HID Receiver
Chicony USB Wireless HID Receiver
HDA Digital PCBeep
HDA NVidia HDMI/DP,pcm=3

[chris@Chimera scripts]$ ir-keytable 
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event2) with:

[chris@Chimera scripts]$ ls -al /dev/input/by-id/

[chris@Chimera scripts]$ ls /sys/class/rc/rc0
device  input2  lirc0  power  protocols  subsystem  uevent

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
