I have a IR dongle and a harmony that is setup to send key presses like an MCE keyboard.
At a virtual terminal the remote works exactly as expected, key presses show up as characters and repeating works. In X-Windows, the keys endlessly repeat. so if I press the button tied to 'p', you would see "p ppppppppppppppp" etc. This will continue until I press a key on an actual USB keyboard.
Things that I have tried:
- Linux kernels 3.1 and 3.2, the effect is the same in both
- Linux kernel 2.6 with mod_mce, I couldn't get the module to work at all.
- Configuring the xorg to ignore that input source (this had the expected result of the remote having no effect.
- Configuring the keyboard to use the older 'kbd' driver rather than 'evdev', this resulted in incorrect key mappings, but still exhibited the endless repeating
Any suggestions for patches, solutions or even where to investigate further would be appreciated.
