I have had a similar thing on my first MythTV installation. That was with
a PVR250 and the built in LIRC using the then current version of
knoppmyth.

I never found the cause, as a harddrive crash (was using an oldie, as it
was just for experimenting!) forced me to reinstall. I used the newer
version of knoppmyth then, and the problem was not there with that
install...

I could navigate the system fine using a keyboard, but when doing the same
with an IR and lirc, it gave a flicker (black screen for a splt second) on
every button press...

I have migrated to Xubuntu by now, as I am standardizing all my linux
installs to (*)buntu, which also doesn't have this issue...
