Hmm, looks like you got it. I was starting to think the kernel was doing some kind of check to see if the key being read was the actual key being triggered, but I couldn't figure out how the kernel would know since all events go through the device file one way or another.
And it seems it was just as I thought. The change was committed in 2.6.23. Probably why no one has caught it up to now. -- acpi_fakekey stopped working for certain keycodes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217504 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
