Antec Fusion lirc
There are different receiver models. Run the command lsusb to determine your model. Different remotes also have different codes. This description has a lot of information, and emphasizes Mythbuntu in its description. The description only covers one model
Contents
Vendor product 15c2:0038 and Remote Veris RM200
If the output from lsusb shows something like ID 15c2:0038 SoundGraph Inc. and the remote is a Veris RM200, try this solution.
Update: As of LIRC 0.8.6, most of this content is obsolete. LIRC 0.8.6 creates only one /dev/lirc0 device, and the default lircd.conf found in /usr/share/lirc/remotes/imon/lircd.conf.imon-antec-veris works out of the box.
The methods used are described in [MythTV blog description]. You may need to modify the lirc. See the mythtvblog entry for descriptions of how to do this.
The receiver uses 2 devices, /dev/lirc0 and /dev/lirc1. Some commands are received by one, some are received by the other. There is a certain logic behind the separation. Mouse and keyboard commands are received by /dev/lirc0; this includes the directional pad, left click, enter, and the number button, but skips the mouse/keyboard toggle button.
Everything else comes through /dev/lirc1. There are also commands generated by the volume knob. Some of the commands generated by the volume knob have the same bit code as some of the commands generated by the remote, but the duplicate bit codes are received by different devices, so it works out.
The command mode2 -d /dev/lirc0 and mode2 -d /dev/lirc1 was used to determine the codes.
When LClick is pressed briefly, it is followed immediately by MouseButtonUp. When LClick is pressed for a longer period, MouseButtonUp is not sent until another button has been pressed, perhaps RClick. This allows the mouse button to be kept down when dragging. Some of the controls are still unclear, but there is a start here.
The commands received by /dev/lirc1 come in pairs. One code when the button is pressed, another when the button is released. The release commands are appended with the string Release.
The knob has codes for clockwise motion and counterclockwise motion. When the knob is turned quickly, a different command is issued. WheelCW1 is a slow turn clockwise. WheelCW2 is a faster turn. WheelCW3 is a still faster turn. The knob commands are received by /dev/lirc1. WheelCCW1 has the same code as MouseButtonUp, but WheelCCW1 is received by /dev/lirc1, and MouseButtonUp is received by /dev/lirc0.
A few files are included here.

For Ubuntu, this is placed in the directory /etc/lirc. This controls all commands using /dev/lirc0, which is only from the remote.
