Unfortunately, I don't use GNOME, and don't have any software packages running that listen for a fn-F10, so I can't check ATM whether X believes that the key is down.
Assuming that my guessing as to the meaning of the hex dump from /dev/input/eventX is correct (2 is generated auto-repeat, 1 is down, 0 is up), that key generates events that are a little unusual too -- there's no key down or key up events generated -- just key repeat, one per key press. But I could also be misunderstanding them -- I should really dig up something that can understand the input from /dev/input/event devices to be sure. Also on an Inspiron 1420. This is not the case for fn-print screen, which generates the normal 1 and 0 events, with repeat events if held down. Doesn't have the same kernel-level behavior that causes the other repeat problem, though it might be a bug in-and-of-itself if this is inadvertent. -- Keyboard keys get stuck and repeat (Feisty, Gutsy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124406 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
