[mythtv-users] xscreensaver ignores lirc if it kicks off before I use my remote

[Ma Begaj]

if you did not solve this in the meantime, this might help you.

you can put in lircrc a rule for every button (I think you can use *
instead button name) to run a shell script which does the following:
-----------------------------------------------------------
#/bin/sh
/usr/bin/xscreensaver-command -deactivate
-----------------------------------------------------------
