We would like to include a patch, so that xserver-xorg-input-libinput can do translation for Xorg, which we could leverage it for enabling Mic Mute key in future hardware. [ Test Plan ] * Find a device that does not have Mic Mute key translated by hwdb, starts Desktop in Xorg mode * Test that mic mute does not work * Update the package to -proposed and restart desktop, test the same key, the mic mute key should work to mute the microphone. [ Where problems could occur ] * Since mic mute key is forcibly translated to F20 despite of hardware, if there's any application using that key for other features, it may be in conflict.
