Well, actually it does. If I go back and re-enable all the protocols in
/sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols, now ir-keytable sees the keypresses. However,
if after this I try to use the devinput driver in lirc_options.conf, then
irw and mythfrontend see nothing.

I tried setting "repeat = 1" for every key in my lircrc file, but I still
get the bounces in Myth.

Yes. It's possible that either a newer version of one of the software
components involved is responsible, or one of the updates overwrote a
config file somewhere. RPM updates are usually scrupulous about not
overwriting config files that I've modified, or at least creating a
.rpmsave file, but it's conceivable that someone could have made a
packaging mistake to silently overwrite something.
