** Description changed: + 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. + + ----- + + (This was written by somebody else, erasing the original description in + the process:) + Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 user here. Confirming this is indeed a regression. I didn't realize how much I relied on the special keys until they disappeared! Would appreciate any insight into why this regression occurred, in addition to what might be done to fix it.
