Yep, had me confused for a short while. The IR is recognised automatically,
you'll find if you *don't* use lirc it'll still work (well the up/down/ok
etc) with mythfrontend.
What you need to do is use it with the dev/input driver[1], setup lirc to use
driver dev/input and device /dev/input/event<event number> where <event
number> is where the events are picked up. eg mine is /dev/input/event2 ,
from the sound of it yours would be /dev/input/event0
FWIW I'm running twin Nova-T's in a 2.8GHz P4 and Opensuse 10.0
I've attached my lircd.conf for the Nova-T remote as well.

[1] You may well have to recompile if you didn't include dev/input support
ISTR I had to recompile but worth a try with the std rpms' first as that
might just have been me trying different things.
