I have got the same problem. The strange thing is, that it started occuring right after I switched from the 'fglrx' to 'radeon' video drivers. For me, this seems quite unrelated, but someone with greater knowledge might know the reason for this.
I tried to change the keyboard shortcuts in the gnome-control-center, but everytime I want to set the key for 'mute', it enters XF86ScreenSaver, and for 'lower volume' it tries to enter XF86AudioLowerVolume _and_ XF86AudioStop... So then I tried to see, what 'showkey' tells me. I switched to a virtual console <alt><f2> and logged in while some music was playing in Banshee. Here, every key worked perfectly! Mute muted the music, 'lower volume' lowered the volume and neither keys had side effects. 'showkey' gave me the following output for pressing each key once: ## Mute Key: keycode 113 press keycode 113 release keycode 115 press keycode 115 release keycode 113 press keycode 113 release ## Lower Volume: keycode 114 press keycode 114 release keycode 114 press keycode 114 release ## Higher Volume: keycode 115 press keycode 115 release keycode 115 press keycode 115 release Perhaps the above is all nonsense, I just wanted to help as much as I could. > uname -a Linux misc 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux ** Attachment added: "dmesg.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23524216/dmesg.log -- Mute button locks screen on Thinkpad R52 in intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327889 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
