For anyone wanting a semi-fix that doesn't entail restarting while waiting for evdev to be updated:
1) Even if the mouse is frozen, press "Alt-F2" and type "gnome-terminal" without quotes, then Enter. 2) Type "xinput list" without quotes, Enter, and note the "id" of the keyboard listed under "Virtual core pointer". 3) Type the following and press Enter, replacing "9" with your ID: xinput set-prop 9 "Device Enabled" 0 Your media keys will now be disabled and your keyboard and mouse work otherwise normally until you suspend or reboot. Works for my MS Wired Keyboard 600. -- Keyboard special keys interfere with mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636311 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
