I think I've found the solution for this problem (I've successfully fixed it on my laptop anyway). Because of bug 207473 (or another one of the similar ones), I added "blacklist video" to a file in my /etc/modprobe.d/. I accidentally(?) removed it the other day and suddenly both showkey and X was getting Fn+* key release events (too many though, see bug 207473, but the same amount as the press events anyway).
When I add the blacklisting back, the problem reappears. I tried switching back and forth a few times, only changing the blacklisting between reboots, so this bug was (for me) _definitely_ caused by "blacklist video". (I think kreggz problem is a totally different one, because my laptop doesn't care at all about the mouse regarding this problem. Also, he installed intrepid directly, while I upgraded from hardy, where the "blacklist video" fix was working just fine.) -- X never sees brightness key release events https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
