I used to be able to do this (I've since formated the box) 
The basic idea was to setup X with a second mouse, there is instructions
(i believe on the lirc site). The second mouse was the lirc remote,
dedicate one button to turn on/off the mouse, and set the arrow pointers
on the remote to move the mouse cursor.

The benefit was that when you activated/moved the mouse cursor the
screen saver turned off, plus you now have a cheap wireless mouse!
