I am installing a MythTV front-end / back-end combination. I figured that it would be an ordeal, so I decided to blog the process. It is currently working, but in a duct-tape-and-band-aids sort of way.
IR Keyboard issues.
My IR keyboard is having some problems.
Occasionally, it repeats the last key I hit about 10 times unless I hit
another key to interrupt it. It's like the keyboard buffer isn't
flushing properly or something.
It's either a driver issue or the infrared receiver part of the
hardware, since the same problem happens with my universal remote too.
Hopefully I'll figure out what's happening. I'd hate to have to set up lircd now...

Update: I figured out that this seems somewhat related to the
other light in the room. I had the IR receiver a little off
(pointed in the wrong direction) and the lights were bright. I
reoriented the receiver and things haven't seemed to happen as often at
all (like once every 10 days or more now). So, I think it was
just an issue with direction of the IR signal bouncing around or being
diffused by the light in the room (it also seemed to happen more when
the overhead lights were on).
