OR (Depending on your distrobution)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
     <match key="info.product" contains_ncase="cx88 IR">
        <merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
     </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

In my specific case.. Had the second version... This did not solve my
problem because Interpid (8.10) also loaded the "saa7134 ir" driver which
means that my lircd couldn't get exclusive access. The First version solved
this problem.

Good Luck. Let us know if you get it working ok :)
