The X11 limitations are unfortunate but they can be worked around with keymap support in the kernel driver. ati_remote2 keymap patch is somewhere on it's way upstream as we speak. Not sure about ati_remote though.
Furthermore if lirc can already handle input from event devices then the lirc_atiusb drivers are simply not needed.
