Comment 18 for bug 318261

Matt,

I am still following this bug, hoping that my keyboard problem will be solved.
I know that you said in comment 3 that my problem might be different, but it has the same symptoms:
- multimedia keys used to crash X
- immediately after that bug was fixed, they don't crash X anymore but are simply ignored
- lshal -m sees them all perfectly (with the right names)
- one key is working: for you is Screen Lock, for me is Power (I don't have Screen Lock) as ACPI will directly interpret it

after all, your remote is seen by X as a keyboard. The receiver is on USB and it receives the IR from remote and convert it in keyboard events sent by USB. X has no way to know that your Remote is anything else than a keyboard...

If you need me to post lshal -m output or other stuff then I can do it. But I think that the developers have enough info already.
