No /dev/lircm device

Hi all
I’m having trouble to get a lirc mouse device working. If I’m running /usr/sbin/lircm /etc/lircmd.conf (?correct path of lircm? I’m not under linux right now…) I don’t get any error message (also not in dmesg) but no device is created under /dev/lirc*
Any hints on what log files I could take a look at or even what the problem might be? lirc itself is running fine and I can use all the buttons on my remote, but I’d also like to use the trackpad of my iMON remote.

Cheers

Martin

Is anyone able to help me on this topic?

Thanks
