Bug#732554: linux: pressing multimedia key on "Genius GX Gaming Manticore" freezes keyboard



Thanks, but it didn't help. I've tried it with 3.11.10 kernel.

Dear Maintainer,
after connecting my new keyboard Genius GX Gaming Manticore, I am unable to use multimedia keys (play/pause, mute, volume up/down). After pressing some of these keys, keyboard "freezes" and I am unable to do anything. Only solution I've found is replugging keyboard into USB port.
Snooping USB "traffic" (using wireshark) shows, there are no data sent, when I press these keys. But when I tunnel keyboard to virtualized Windows XP in Virtualbox, after pressing these keys, I see some data flowing.

This should be fixed by the attached patches.  You can test these by
