Nah, that's a feature! The problem is X grabbing the remote
and calling it a keyboard as well as lirc listening to the
same thing.
After much googling, I created the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-quirks.conf
with this content (specific to my IR receiver model, by the way):
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Ignore IR remote as keyboard"
MatchProduct "Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver"
Option "Ignore" "on"
EndSection
That way, X ignores it, and only lirc listens. (I got the
MatchProduct string from the xorg log from before I
ignored it).
My full lirc experience can be found at the end of my
