If the kernel indeed does support your remote you should be able to just 
stop lirc. Of course, you might need to do some key mapping in myth, but 
that should be it. You'll lose the ability to run other applications 
using the remote in parallel with myth (and some other stuff), but 
otherwise you should be fine.

Using lirc, it should work with driver=devinput and device=auto in 
lirc_options.conf. The 'auto' stuff might fail if there are different 
candidates, then use the /dev/input device listed by ir-keytable instead.

As for the double keypresses, there is the  lircrc 'repeat' parameter 
[1] as I said before. It turns out that lircd.conf also has a more or 
less undocumented 'suppress_repeat' parameter which can be used to 
suppress repeats for all buttons instead [2].

Cheers!
