I'm sorry, but I don't quite follow...the ir driver for the av7110 uses the Linux input system (i.e. appears as a keyboard more or less), why

LIRC? Exactly what issues do you have?

If I want to use Mythtv with the Nexus-S, then I have to use LIRC. But, everyone that I talk to with a hauppauge card seems to have a "double key
press"
problem when trying to use LIRC with those built in IR sensors.

No, you *do not* need to use LIRC with MythTV. I control MythTV, Xine,
Mplayer and Xmame with a remote without using LIRC.

The problem, you're experiencing is that the keypresses are reported as such from the input subsystem, the X server sees them as keyboard input and passes them to the program. At the same time, LIRC passes the events as IR events to the same program....ergo, two actions for one keypress.

The solution is simple, get rid of LIRC

Well I run an application without X while taking input only using the linux input system, and I'm still having problems with multiple input when pressing a single key. And I don't have LIRC installed. I've heard from multiple sources that there are problems with the driver code that handles the RC5 reception.
