Yep. I guess that's a PS2/PS1 compatibility feature...

Same here - kind of makes sense that the "repeat" function for a
joypad would have to be interpreted in software. Button press/release
state can be read. Not sure how one would change the joystick reading
code to include a repeat every X ms, after initial button press length
of Y ms... but I'd be interested to have that functionality.

I do find that the joypad up/down events are much faster and more
responsive than my remote control up/down events... but still no
replacement for keyboard with repeat
Thanks for your config - it gave me some ideas. I still wish that
mythtv could make better use of the analog sticks for realtime
controls - I imagine being able to hold a button down and use an
analog stick to adjust timestretch or seek or ffwd/rwd at varying
speeds...
Here's my config for my Logitech wireless PS2 controller:
d-pad and left stick: up/down/left/right
right buttons:
Enter: X, O
Escape: Triangle, Square
Volume down: L1
Volume up: L2
Pause: Start
Select: Menu
