[Bug 636311] Re: Keyboard special keys interfere with mouse

[Martin Pitt]

What confuses me is that the udev logs all have the correct ID_INPUT_*
tags, i. e. it doesn't misidentify the keyboard as ID_INPUT_MOUSE or
ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD.

Could you please install the input-utils package. Then find out the
input event number of the Microsoft keyboard from Xorg.0.log; e. g. if
you see

[    28.074] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Microsoft Microsoft® Digital Media Keyboard     (/dev/input/event2)
[...]
[    28.104] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Microsoft Microsoft® Digital Media Keyboard     (/dev/input/event3)

then the keyboard created two new input devices "2" and "3". Please run

  sudo input-events 2

then press one of the trouble keys, and copy&paste the result. Then do
the same with all the other reported input event device numbers from
that keyboard (i. e. "3" in this example).

Thanks!
