Package: hal
Version: 0.5.14-3
Severity: normal
When I put my laptop (HP 6710b) into a docking station and use
external keyboard, certain keyboard combinations (e.g. Shift-Left),
generate BrightnessDown keycode. When that happend and the external
keyboard switches to some strange mode where normal keys doesn't work
and arrows generates BrightnessDown even without shift. The external
keyboard starts working again only after I press Fn-F9/10 on the
internal laptop keyboard i.e. real brightnes down/up keys.
This happens only if I boot or resume the laptop in the docking
station. Everything works correctly when laptop is booted outside and
then it is put into the dock.
What follow are two different output from lshal which are (I hope)
relevant to the problem.
1) When there is the problem with external keyboard (keymap.data
contains e012:brightnessdown for two devices):

2) When the external keyboard works correctly (e012:brightnessdown
appears only once):

Is there a way to fix the problem?
