However I don't see why the repeat vs. no repeat case should depend on 
the device reporting or not reporting keyboard keys. I don't see any 
real connection with a device having some keyboard keys and sending 
repeat events for buttons.

The problem is, that currently EV_REP is per-device flag. Once we set 
it, it is valid for all EV_KEY events (which includes keyboard events, 
but also mouse buttons).
I think it might be good to redesign this a little bit, but I'd like to 
hear Dmitry's opinion here, let's see when he will appear.

Dmitry,

do you have any opinion/idea what might be the best soltuion please?

Thanks,
