Description illumilore 2012-10-14 07:17:33 UTC
xubuntu 12.10rc, x64 with a HA-IR01SV 'vista' mce remote

When using the infrared remote, operations are generally buggy compared to lirc. Multiple buttons do not work, and if you hold down a key, it's repetition is buggy (ie holding it down for one second will repeat way faster than it should and for longer, so if you are choosing a selection from a list you will end up at the bottom)

It still hasn't been fixed.

Please send email to the developers of the driver, and
linux-usb@vger.kernel.org

You describe two issues. One is repeat handling. Repeat handling has two numbers, delay and repeat. Delay is the number of milliseconds before a key starts repeating, and repeat is the number of milliseconds before the key start repeating again (so for 3rd, 4th time etc). You can set these values with (for example):
ir-keytable -D 300 -P 250
The default is -D 500 -P 125. Are these values more acceptable? I am inclined to think these numbers need improving.

The second problem I don't understand. What is the problem with multiple buttons?

Does lirc allow to hold down multiple buttons? Can you give an example so I can try and reproduce/understand please?
