Public bug reported:
Keyboard model: BTC 9029 URF III Wireless RF USB
16 Media keys on the keyboard, 13 of which return valid scan codes
returned by both showkey and xev. The others do not return anything and
are "dead", I checked functionality with Windows XP and the other 3 keys
do work in that environment.
I am unsure which package I was to report this under but upon reading
many forums (via google), this seems to be a kernel related bug, as it
translates the scancodes received into something sane (0-255). While
using showkey, the middle non-working key did return a scancode of 363,
though that number is unusable.
I'm running Jaunty and have searched launchpad, seems that devicekit
would help here and I installed udev-extras in the hopes that it would
make this problem go away, yet it didn't.
