Can't really make out the remote shown in the photo, but if you are amenable to getting a different one, but not keen on spending a lot of money, you can get the popular VRC-1100 (wiki), which works well in Linux without the need to use/configure LIRC. It's readily available on-line (e.g., Amazon) for around $16. Most of the buttons work out-of-the-box and most of the remaining ones can be easily assigned to perform various XBMC functions via the keyboard.xml file.
