[Bug 271706] Re: Toshiba Satellite U300 volume wheel sticking

[Aryeh Gregor]

Tomasz: I wrote the patch against 2.6.33-rc4, so I'm not surprised it
doesn't apply to an older kernel.  To clarify, are you still getting the
user-visible symptoms even with the patch?  When I tried it, I stopped
getting the symptoms (volume indicator maxing out and flickering,
keyboard freezing up, etc.).  The volume wheel seemed sluggish/jittery,
but it behaved much better.  I did seem to still be getting similar
codes from showkey -s, but I assumed those were somehow not relevant,
since it mostly worked.

I'll try out the sysfs thing when I get access to the machine again.  Do
you know where this sort of change would be added in HAL/DeviceKit?  Are
there any example patches?  2.6.32 means Lucid, so a quirk would still
be needed if we wanted to fix it for Karmic, I guess (maybe not worth
it).
