To get it to work I edited

~/.lirc/mythtv

and added the following (two unused buttons) followed by a reboot(not sure
if needed but rebooted anyways).
I am running 12.04 ubuntu with devinput for lirc.


begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_RADIO
    config = xscreensaver-command -deactivate
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end
begin
    remote = devinput
    prog = irexec
    button = KEY_MEDIA
    config = xscreensaver-command -activate
    repeat = 0
    delay = 0
end
