Well here it seems that lirc is running correctly as well, but mythtv 
isn't responding to keypresses.
First I downgraded mythtv, which seems to have worked, my frontend 
responds to keypresses again.

One thing I noticed in mythtv 0.21 build 188 form atrpms is that when 
starting the frontend it didn't show the line: lirc init succes using 
configuration file ....
Build 185 does show this line and then the remote works...

Can it be that the package was configured without lirc_support or something?
