Yes.

Yes you need lirc to make all the buttons work and when you have a 
working configuration, you can test it by running 'irw'. Getting to 
running an actual lirc-enabled software is a bit of a struggle but once 
you have done it, it's done. MythTV wiki should have a lirc howto and 
you'll find many more by searching with google.
