Public bug reported:
I have a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000, part of a wireless RF
keyboard/mouse bundle, which comes with several media keys (Back,
Forward, Play/Pause, Vol. Down, Vol. Up, Mute, Home, Search, Mail and
Calculator). They worked perfectly in Hardy once I got all the keysyms
straight in gnome-keybinding-properties.
Since updating to Intrepid beta (via update-manager), none of these
multimedia keys work anymore. Apparently, no KeyPress/KeyRelease event
is generated when they are pressed (checked with gnome-keybinding-
properties and with xev). Further, I have gone as far as to go to a
(tty) console and use 'kbd_mode -s' to see the raw input from the
keyboard (thankfully I remembered about SysRq+R before rebooting ;)),
and the multimedia keys do not generate any.
I am using the Generic 105 keys international distribution, which used
to work perfectly under Hardy. I have also tried many other
possibilities, including every Microsoft-branded keyboard in the
database, several unrelated models and some of the generic keyboards
(including the "Evdev-managed"), to no avail.
I have seen several other similar bugs, but none of them related to
exactly the same behavior. I am using Intrepid beta, up to date.
