No probs - at this stage I'm grateful for as much input (no pun intended ;) on the issue as I can get, because I'm a bit stumped! I'd really like to avoid patches if possible, if only because between the various xine and vdr patches and packages, keeping current is proving rather time intensive!
Testing CVS releases of softdevice and DirectFB can be even more time intensive, but it can also be very rewarding.
Hmm, that's very interesting. I guess I should start reading the source.
It's not that hard to make simple modifications to kernel modules.
BTW, I found out that the vdr-remote plugin reduces the key-repeat rate by using some timer magic. On IR remotes using the RC5 code, the inherent repeat rate is 113.8 ms. Using vdr-remote plugin, the rate was something like half or third of that. With softdevice and DirectFB linux-input driver and with my kernel patch, I get all RC5 frames (except the first repeated one that I discard on purpose) mapped to vdr key events.
