After upgrading to intrepid, I noticed that my firefly-mini remote control would act like I pressed each key twice! This made my mythfrontend useless. The solution took me quite a while to find, but I originally used apt pinning to just use the hardy xorg sources. However, after a hardware upgrade to the mp45-dr, I had to find another solution since the x4500HD chipset required the newer xorg from intrepid. So...
Third ( current ) workaround for Jaunty:
Second workaround:
I added this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Seems like this needs to have xfce4-session installed

# this finally fixes my problem w/ the firefly-mini double keypress for arrow keys!
