Testing CVS releases of softdevice and DirectFB can be even more time
intensive, but it can also be very rewarding.

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.
