I'm not sure why it would only happen with the frontend running. If
it's (not sure of the correct terminology here) a polled sensor rather
than one that has a microchip and does it's own decoding, then maybe
having extra processes running is causing it to not poll in time.

Have you tried recreating your lircd.conf file? I had a strange
problem with lirc once where irrecord determined there were fewer bits
being sent than there actually were. As a result it was getting
buttons confused. Also, you could try adjusting the gap parameter in
lircd.conf. Maybe it's set too low, so it thinks the repeat is a
separate press. I've had the opposite problem...where the gap was
really high and it thought my second press was a repeat (even if I
pressed the button slowly).

Well, I stumbled on the solution and I first I did not believe it, but I can reproduce it anytime I want.

The problem went away when I switch from the nv kernel module to the nvidia one

WHAT?

Yep, I put the nv module in xorg.conf, the remote doesn't work properly with mythtv (and only mythtv as far as I could tell)

I remove the nv module and put the nvidia module.  remote works great, faster and without _ever_ giving me the double zero's.

Anyone has any ideas?  I'd be happy --if anyone has any questions about my hardware-- to answer any questions, but you better email me directly.
