Maybe these are stupid questions but excuse full layman.
I did not compiled neither evdev nor joydev - do I need it to set
ir-common (I mean input/eventX) working (evdev sounds good)?
You definately need evdev. I don't think you need joydev.
Compiling lirc I supposed, that devinput is right choice for driver but
of course I am not sure of that.
Yes, devinput is the correct driver.
Could you explain me shortly how it works (I mean some schema like:
hardware - ir-common(sa7134?) - evdev - /dev/input/eventX - lircd?
That looks pretty much right to me :) The saa7134 driver creates an
input device for the remote control. evdev is required in order to be
able to access that input device via /dev/input/eventX. The devinput
driver for lirc reads from /dev/input/eventX.
After modprobing saa7134 and evdev, you can use the list command in
Gerd's input device tools to find out which input device has the remote
on it (eg. for me it is /dev/input/event2), then fire up lircd with
lircd -d /dev/input/eventX.
