[mythtv-users] Re: Repeat problems with ati_remote in 2.6 kernel

[Jason Gabriele]

The driver changed sometime after 2.6.7, and yes it is annoying. 
Fast-Forward does work much better now but it needs to have some kind of 
throttling (like holding it down gives you one keystroke every .25 
seconds). Whoever suggested altering .lircrc: the ati_remote driver is a 
kernel driver, lirc is not required for use. I am pretty sure most 
people are now using that driver because it's easier to setup than 
installing lirc. Maybe this discussion needs to take place on a kernel 
mailing list?
