Here are the right-shift codes: showkey -s: press: 0x36 0xe0 0x6a repeat: 0x36 release: 0xb6 0xe0 0xeaAll this looks like one of the few keyboard glitches that linux-2.6 fixes for some keyboards known to be bogus, while other keyboards do use these scancodes to report e.g. multimedia keys. Could you try showkey -s with the older, working kernel?Stable (2.6.26) which worked fine gives the same as Testing (2.6.32):When you say "Stable", you mean both kernel and Xorg? Could you also run xev on your stable box?
I mean the debian stable release. I'll try it on my home machine, which has the same logitech keyboard.
press: 0x3a 0xe0 0x66 repeat: 0x3a release: 0xba 0xe0 0xe6 ...which makes me think it's an xorg problem, but I'm not familiar with how the whole keyboard stack works.It's a big mess :)I wonder why the logitech generates so many codes.It looks to me like a keyboard bug. Do you see any pattern, e.g. does the left shift key produce one too? Do the keys which do produce extra scancodes form any particular shape on the keyboard?
The only problem keys are caps-lock and right-shift, both upon key press.
Such bug should probably be fixed in the kernel, just like it is already in atkbd.c for some keyboards. Samuel
Showkey looks almost identical between kernels tho. I'll check my machine at home and see what xev shows.
