This is not tested but until there is a real patch for RC-6, the following changes in the drivers/media/rc sources could make the current RC6 decoder a lot more usable:

(1) Reduce the timeout value in rc-main controled by the macro IR_KEYPRESS_TIMEOUT which is currently 250ms

The smalled possible value depends of the repeat delay of the protocol which appears to be around 83 ms.
A value of 100ms or 150ms should work file.

Ah, you mean kernel sources at drivers/media/rc/rc-main.c. Interesting, I might test that at some point, given that my HTPC is using Gentoo, where recompiling the kernel is an easy task.

(2) Reduce the timeout in the ir driver.

On my system, the driver is ite_cir and its timeout is controled by the macro ITE_IDLE_TIMEOUT = 200ms in ite-cir.h

A value around 50ms should be fine except that 100ms appears to be the minimum for ite_cir (see ITE_MIN_IDLE_TIMEOUT).
Is it a soft or heard limit? I don't know.

THIS IS NOT TESTED and that is likely to break other decoders that may require longer timeouts.

Huh. Well, in my case I don't use a specific driver for the IR device, as it's bundled with my TV card. Is this second step really necessary for other remotes?
