I have an IR Blaster from irblaster.info (the one that they say works 
with Myth).  I ran dmesg and saw the following entries for lirc:
               lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61
               lirc_serial: auto-detected active high receiver.

I am attaching my lircd conf files in case you care to take a look.  A 
buddy of mine sent me them from his system, so it's possible that I have 
something incorrect.  I setup my Harmony as a Hauppauge PVR-350

Thanks,
Harry
