To find the correct MatchProduct string for the X11 ignore rule, run

$ xinput list --name-only

This will list the names for all X input devices (including any IR
remote receivers that X has configured).

Find the device name that corresponds to your IR receiver and add that
string to the MatchProduct entry in the rule, replacing the MCE text
if necessary.
