Your description of what you've done is mostly incoherent to me. The mceusb driver
is in the kernel. You install lirc userspace. You tell lirc userspace to use
either the event device from the mceusb driver, or its lirc device (/dev/lirc0),
and that's about all there is to it. No reinstalling anything over the top. Either
you, or the mythbuntu lirc config, are making this way harder than it actually is.
