Are you sure you can't set this in xf86config (or xorg.conf)?  You can 
set a typematic repeat rate or turn off repetition altogether for any 
keyboard device used in X.  My remote actually runs without any entries 
in xorg at all, but I went ahead and defined it in there afterwards, 
however, I don't have the repetition unless I press the key for too 
long.  Does the "mouse" section of the remote send 4 repeats also?
