Perhaps you're seeing the events via /dev/input/event & via the keyboard driver at the same time. The issue is that the remote also simulates keyboard events so if myth-frontend is looking at both the keyboard and lircd then it sees some events twice. Try opening another window and giving that focus. Do you see the problem go away? Do you also see key presses appearing from your remote in this window? You might be able to tweak your config to prevent the myth-frontend from getting the input from the keyboard by default, maybe opening another window or running it with "</dev/null". The better way to fix this problem would be for lircd to use the EVIOCGRAB ioctl on the /dev/input/event device. This prevents the remote from sending duplicate events via the keyboard handling code.
