Hmm. Well, at least it seems that the normal keyset is using the correct protocol.

no the buttons work fine, they light up and give the click sound, and stay lighted when keeping them pressed (I dont have tactile on)
Alright! That actually gets me past the UI layer and deeper into Pierogi. (And Pierogi isn't all that deep.) Given that the first press works, and the UI layer still seems to work, I think there are only a few items that could go wrong. In particular, I'm using a separate thread for communicating with the IR device driver, and there are a couple of mutexes being used to communicate between the UI layer and the worker thread. If a mutex is failing, it could cause this sort of effect...

Dunno how to connect that with switching the screen on and off, though.

I'll have to ponder this one a bit.
