Bug#325053: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7: USB Multimedia Keyboard IBM Rapid Access III - special keys have no function anymore
Package: kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7
Version: 2.6.11-7
Severity: normal
Hi there,
today I upgraded my system from the sarge kernel 2.6.8-2-k7 to actual
testing kernel 2.6.11-1-k7 and recognized after rebooting and
reinstalling nvidia graphics driver that the special keys on my IBM
Rapid Access III keyboard all have no function (showkey -s gives no
output for them).
With the former kernel 2.6.8-2-k7 also not all keys functioned, but at
least the multimedia control keys an the Back- and Forward-Keys near the
cursor-pad (as on IBM ThinkPads) were usuable.
I don't know that much about usb keyboards and the hid-input driver, so
I don't even know how to get any debug output.
But if anyone can teach me how to see why the driver doesn't generate
keycodes for these keys I could try do make them work again.
Some information about the keyboard can be found on
