I've tried the keyboard without the ps2->usb adapter on lubuntu 12.10 (desktop pc). In this case, multimedia keys are recognized both by sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/eventX and by sudo evtest commands.
This is really strange because the multimedia keys work well even using the ps2->usb adapter (though they do not print anything with keymap and evtest commands). What may be due to this bug (which does not allow debugging on the computers without ps2 ports)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1222763 Title: Pressing usb keyboard multimedia keys doesn't print anything with sudo /lib/udev/keymap -i input/eventX Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've got a multimedia wireless keyboard.
