I had the same problem (well irxevent was missing anyway). I am also using FC3 and the same remote.
I'm not really sure what I did to fix it. What I do know is that I am using the latest lirc without patches. I'm not sure that you actually need irxevent if you are using native lirc support in mythtv (I'm probably wrong - someone can verify). Just move the lircrc file to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc (or adjust for your config) and try running mythfrontend from a shell window - it will output an error if it can't find the lircrc file.
