[Bug 1245189] [NEW] Lenovo Z370 multimedia keys do not work because force-release in hwdb.d is missing

[Stefan Lobas]

Public bug reported:

Affects Ubuntu 13.10, udev 204-0ubuntu19:

The Lenovo Z370 notebook has capacitive keys for volume up, volume down and mute. Touching these buttons does not generate a key release event and blocks any further key presses. 
I solved this issue by applying the attached patch to /ĺib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb
After updating the hwdb and rebooting everything works fine.

** Affects: udev (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Patch added: "Needed lines for multimedai key releasing on Lenovo Z370 notebook"
