I have also experience this problem with the ati_remote driver, but
didn't know the fix. If I am correct, the HZ always used to default to
1000HZ, but not it is configurable in the kernel as 1000HZ, 250HZ, or
100HZ. By my calculations, the FILTER_TIME will be at most 20% longer
than before, but as little as 2% bigger.
HZ Old New % Difference
100 5 6 20%
250 12.5 13.5 8%
1000 50 51 2%
Those are my calculations based on your previously stated definitions.
The FILTER_TIME const is only used 1 time in ati_remote.c, so I doubt
there would be a problem redefining it. Would a redefinition to 50 be
more appropriate (so keep the repeat delay the same across all platforms)?
Tonight I will recompile and test the driver with the 2 new definitions
and report on my findings.

Hello!
I have problems with autorepeat in ati_remote (drivers/usb/input)
driver in "recent" kernels: all keys start repeating immediately
without some delay.
This makes some things, like changing the channel prev/next or
toggling fullscreen, etc... impossible/hard.
The problem seems to be related to FILTER_TIME and HZ=250 (which I
forgot to change).
FILTER_TIME is defined to HZ / 20, and since 250 is not divisible by
20, the time will be too short to ignore enough events.
Defining FILTER_TIME to HZ / 20 + 1 seems to fix things, but I'm not
sure if there are any bad side effects.
