I am using FC1 on a VIA mini-ITX board in a cubit case. The case came 
with a serial "home-brew" IR receiver that I plugged into the serial port.

Had to compile lirc for the serial driver which produced a kernel 
module. Below is the entries I have in my /etc/modules.conf.

-------------------

# IR on COM2.
alias char-major-61 lirc_serial
options lirc_serial type=0 irq=3 io=0x2f8
pre-install lirc_serial /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none

-------------------

Lirc works fine with all the remotes I have tested (TV, video, DSTV, 
etc..) and once you have setup lirc for the remote of choice it works 
fine with MythTV.

Hope this helps.
