I assume "LM" is a linux distro.  I'm running Debian Stable.

That's what I have too.  I've been pretty happy with it.

You need to (1) setup the configuration for lirc, (2) tell lirc what
to do with MythTV, then (3) run irxevent.

1. I had to create /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.
   The values in lircd.conf came from running a test program and
   pressing keys on the remote (I think it was test_io or test_func).
   See attachments.

2. Create ~/.lircrc as I think the MythTV docs say.  Something like:
begin
	prog = irxevent
	button = Escape
	config = Key Escape CurrentWindow
end
...

3. % irxevent &
