Hi Lee,
Sounds like you're making progress. For MythTV to work with LIRC, you'll have to have the appropriate lircrc file in the ~/.mythtv directory. Notice the filename is "lircrc" and not ".lircrc" (no dot in front). That's the lircrc file that maps your remote buttons to MythTV commands. In addition, for lirc to work with the external applications launched by mythfrontend like mplayer, you will need the lirc configuration for those applications in the correct place. Which I believe is typically ~/.lircrc (notice that one does have the dot in front).
A couple things I can think of off hand to check if things still don't work:
1. Check the lircd log file as you start mythfrontend to make sure it's getting a client connection when mythfrontend starts
2. Verify the button names displayed by irw match exactly the button names in ~/.mythtv/lircrc
I've never used KnoppMyth before so I'm not sure how to configure lirc to autostart on it. Using FC3 we've put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
/usr/local/sbin/lircd -L /var/log/lircd
/usr/local/bin/irexec -dI suspect you could do the same on Knopp.

Hmmm, the thread seems to have drifted onto the 2005 remote, I'm trying to
set up the older 2004 style remote...
With Davids clues, I've built the lirc 0.7.1 lirc_mceusb module, and
copied the lirc.conf to /etc/lirc/ and the .lircrc to the two dirs whose
names escape me.
When I run irw, it all seems to be working, the red led on the receiver
flashes, and all of the buttons are shown on the screen when I press the
buttons on the remote... :)
I've switched to the i686 version of MythTV, which should have built in native lirc support...
However, nothing happens in Myth when I press buttons on the remote... :( Any ideas?

Also, I'm running KnoppMyth, how do I get it to autostart LIRC?
