I have seen similar behavior in my Fedora 17 system when the lirc daemon
wasn't running.  X translates the arrow keys and perhaps one or two more
buttons but not the rest.  Are you sure you've enabled the lirc daemon with

chkconfig --level 345 lirc on
service lirc start
(I don't have it as a systemd service on my Fedora 17 install)

especially since you're not seeing any information in the mythfrontend.log?

It may not be this simple.  Just throwing that out there.  Do you have
/home/mythtv/.lircrc (you were missing the prepending dot in your post) and
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf and an entry like this:

in  /etc/modprobe.d/lirc.conf:
#lirc_module_configuration
alias char-major-61 lirc_mceusb2
(you may not have this -- I have mine for my MCE USB remote)

Hope that helps,
Jerry
