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

[C.E.L.]

My devices are as follows (lsinputs)
/dev/input/event2
   bustype : BUS_USB
   vendor  : 0x45e
   product : 0xb4
   version : 273
   name    : "Microsoft Microsoft® Digital Me"
   phys    : "usb-0000:00:04.0-1/input0"
   uniq    : ""
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_MSC EV_LED EV_REP

/dev/input/event3
   bustype : BUS_USB
   vendor  : 0x45e
   product : 0xb4
   version : 273
   name    : "Microsoft Microsoft® Digital Me"
   phys    : "usb-0000:00:04.0-1/input1"
   uniq    : ""
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_REL EV_ABS EV_MSC EV_REP

/dev/input/event4
   bustype : BUS_USB
   vendor  : 0x45e
   product : 0x40
   version : 272
   name    : "Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mou"
   phys    : "usb-0000:00:04.0-3/input0"
   uniq    : ""
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_REL EV_MSC

Note that  the keyboard is listed twice. My "trouble keys" are in
particular the volume up/down keys:

The following is the output of input-events :

input-events 2 just reacts on non-special keys

input-events 3 list the special keys, for example:
10:30:42.868089: EV_MSC code=4 value=786665
10:30:42.868105: EV_KEY KEY_VOLUMEUP (0x73) pressed
10:30:42.868131: EV_SYN code=0 value=0
10:30:43.004077: EV_MSC code=4 value=786665
10:30:43.004100: EV_KEY KEY_VOLUMEUP (0x73) released
10:30:43.004133: EV_SYN code=0 value=0
10:30:43.860032: EV_MSC code=4 value=786666
10:30:43.860052: EV_KEY KEY_VOLUMEDOWN (0x72) pressed
10:30:43.860080: EV_SYN code=0 value=0
10:30:43.972026: EV_MSC code=4 value=786666
10:30:43.972043: EV_KEY KEY_VOLUMEDOWN (0x72) released
10:30:43.972073: EV_SYN code=0 value=0
10:30:47.942647: EV_SYN code=0 value=1

input-events 4 shows the following when the left mouse button is pressed:
10:32:15.128084: EV_MSC code=4 value=589825
10:32:15.128092: EV_KEY BTN_LEFT (0x110) pressed
10:32:15.128107: EV_REL REL_X -1
10:32:15.128112: EV_REL REL_Y 1
10:32:15.128117: EV_SYN code=0 value=0
10:32:15.152094: EV_MSC code=4 value=589825
10:32:15.152110: EV_KEY BTN_LEFT (0x110) released
10:32:15.152137: EV_SYN code=0 value=0

It says in my X.org.log that the input event 3 (my keyboard) has  "1
mouse button"  which has been configurate as a mouse and as a keyboard
(see attachment).
