There's a whole guide to Universal Remotes and MythTV here:
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/remotes.php

Also, have a look at the lirc section of the MythTV installation guide:
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#lirc

Generally, you need to map the IR codes to events. Here's an example config

 You can use lirc (it handle linux input devices), but you don't have to.
 lirc needs the evdev module loaded as well.

 The mentioned tarball also has a utility to dump and change the
 key maps.
