Repeat problem (min_repeat useless ???)

[Vincent V. <van...@li...>]

Hi all,

I have some problems understanding the behaviour of the min_repeat
option of lircd.conf : basically, my remote (ATI Remote Wonder... btw,
I've just finished porting the gatos driver from Paul Miller to the
2.6.0-test1 kernel : if someone is willing to help me clean it / migrate
it to a lirc_dev plugin, this will be very welcome !) repeats 4 times
the first keypress :

If I press the VOL_DOWN key once:

0000000014ce09f0 00 VOL_DOWN ATI
0000000014ce09f0 01 VOL_DOWN ATI
0000000014ce09f0 02 VOL_DOWN ATI
0000000014ce09f0 03 VOL_DOWN ATI
0000000014ce09f0 04 VOL_DOWN ATI

...and if I let the key pressed a bit longer:

0000000014ce09f0 00 VOL_DOWN ATI
0000000014ce09f0 01 VOL_DOWN ATI
0000000014ce09f0 02 VOL_DOWN ATI
0000000014ce09f0 03 VOL_DOWN ATI
0000000014ce09f0 04 VOL_DOWN ATI
0000000014ce09f0 05 VOL_DOWN ATI
0000000014ce09f0 06 VOL_DOWN ATI

So far, everything is fine. The problem is that the userspace daemon
(I'm using lircd 0.6.6 from debian/sid) does not seem to let me
configure things the way I'd want:

- the min_repeat option of lircd.conf does not seem to have any
influence on the output/behaviour (tried 0,1,2,3,4,5...)

- the repeat option in .lircrc (that really should be called
repeat_rate) does not do what I want : e.g., if I set it to 5, the
application will receive one event in the first case (which is what I
would expect), but only 2 events in the second case while I'd like
events 00, 05 and 06 to be emitted...

I'm sending my lircd.conf in attachment. I'd appreciate if someone could
help me before I have to dig into the lircd source code ;-)

Best regards,

Vincent
