[mythtv-users] Remote Control Key Press Repeats

[Ryan A. Carris]

I have a Radio Shack 15-2166 Remote, which I''ve reprogrammed using a
JP1 cable to emulate the key presses on my IR Acer Keyboard (there are
many version of this wireless keyboard).  The keyboard has an IR
receiver that just plugs into the keyboards PS2 port.  My remote uses
this same IR receiver, and the computer just sees the remote like a
keyboard.  So, I do NOT need to use LIRC.

It worked great, until I upgraded.  I had used it successfully with
Mandrake 9 and 9.1 and every version of Myth from 0.7 to 15.1.  But,
yesterday I upgrade to Fedora Core 3 (using Atrpms) and Myth 0.16. 
Now, when I press a key on the remote, the computer keeps the key
pressed until I hit a key on the keyboard to stop it.    The remote
isn't still sending anything, because the light on the remote isn't
blinking.

I'm a little confused as to what could be causing this, since it had
worked so well.  I've tried to turn off key repeats in KDE, but that
had a bad effect, that after a key press, it wouldn't recognize the
next key press.  I'm guessing that the programming of the remote has a
few bugs, but it had worked before!

I upgraded several things at once, Myth, Distro, KDE, ect. I know that
this is probably a very rare setup, but I'm hoping someone can point
me in the right direction to look.

thanks,
