In order to properly handle focus and input, you will need to run two 
separate X servers.  This cannot be accomplished on a single graphics 
card.  You will need to use two videos cards, one for each display.  If 
you do not have a board with multiple PCIe x16 slots, stop now.  If you 
have to buy a new board and second video card, then just buy a second 
system.

The method described there maps each remote as a keyboard input, and 
have nothing to do with the network control port or LIRC.  If the 
devices show up as separate inputs, you can use the independent 
'keyboards' for each X server.  If they only show up as a single input, 
then this will not work.
