I'm not quite certain that Xfree can deal with dual keyboards.  Presumably
you could have one USB, and one PS/2, but I really couldn't find a section
in the XF86Config file that said which device to use for the keyboard.
Mouse shouldn't be a problem, as that is what lirc would be using...so you
would have two X sessions running, one using one mouse (ps/2 or usb), and
the other Xsession using LIRC.  If you could somehow get your myth session
to ignore keyboard input...maybe you'd be in business?  (umm...maybe chmod
/dev/kdb so that the mythtv user can't get to it, but the other users
can?)

Do some searching for getting dual keyboards+dual X sessions running and
see what you can dig up.
