is this an x10 remote using the kernel ati_remote driver? if yes, you can try the attached patch.
A Medion remote i have was unusable w/o this change; eg. pressing the same key twice resulted in six events: one for the first key press and five for the second. Switching to channel '11' or moving two lines down triggers this...
With the patch the (pseudo-)auto-repeat rate goes down 5x, but the remote becomes usable. I don't have any ati remotes so i can't tell if this problem affects them. (the patch also adds some extra keycodes for the medion remote)
