I am successfully using the iMon remote that came with my LC16M case...let's
see what I can figure out.

Here's my mythfrontend --version output (I compiled from source a while
ago):
Library API version: 0.20.20060828-3
Source code version: 11166
Options compiled in:
 linux release using_xvmcw using_v4l using_oss using_alsa using_arts
using_ivtv using_dbox2 using_hdhr using_ip_rec using_freebox using_live
using_lirc using_joystick_menu using_dvb using_x11 using_xv using_xrandr
using_xvmc using_xvmc_vld using_opengl_vsync using_opengl using_frontend
using_backend

I used the lirc package from venky.ws (linked from Silverstone's LC16M page)

My /etc/lircd.conf is copied directly from that package's
remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-pad (I couldn't get a recording of any other
remote, or any lircd.conf downloaded from lirc.org to work with the imon VFD
hardware)

My ~mythtv/lircrc and ~mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc (no ~mythtv/.lircrc) is a
slightly modified version of Jarod's grey-Hauppage one (can't find link
right now...) but the Esc section looks just like your sample above.

I don't use irevent or irxexec at all.

I hope that's a little helpful?
