I just rebooted my system without keyboard and mouse for testing this; 
during auto-login via gdm my system hang for approx. 30s, but then 
everything went on normally, and the remote was working, too.

[ I have a PVR-250 with the grey remote, and I am running RedHat 9; I 
installed ivtv/lirc/mythtv/mplayer with the atrpms from Axel Thimm. ]

Best,
