[Bug 376131] Re: iOne SCORPIUS R-30 wireless keyboard anomalies

Thu Sep 23 03:48:48 UTC 2010

Groetjes,

I did provide the information requested on this bug. So it is NOT
incomplete and does not deserve being expired. It is still a bug in the
operating system dealing with this keyboard and should be addressed
appropriately.

I possess this keyboard and can gladly lend a hand in debugging the
problem if needed. Even though I'm a seasoned programmer ... I certainly
don't know my way around the linux kernel to discover the cause ... but
I am here to help in anyway I can.

Cordially,

Robert Dinah

Bug description:
I've used this keyboard in Windows and it works flawlessly -- this is one of those USB RF wireless devices ... with a built in mouse touchpad giving the look and feel of a notebook machine.

Keep in mind this is not particularly a BIOS or USB issue as the
keyboard responds just fine with the BIOS menu up.

Some combinations of keys, like CTRL-ALT-DEL are not recognized in
Jaunty 9.04 nor Karmic 9.10. You can observe this behaviour in the
keyboard shortcuts dialogue when setting a disabled entry. For example
CTRL-ALT-DEL is recorded as ALT-DEL and other keystroke combinations are
misreported. Here's an interesting example:

CTRL-RIGHT produces CTRL-RIGHT
ALT-RIGHT produces ALT-RIGHT
CTRL-ALT-RIGHT produces ALT-RIGHT (see comment below)

I've retested it with Windows XP on the identical system. Keyboard works
properly. I've tested it with PCLinuxOS 2009 and Fedora 10 with
identical results as Ubuntu. I've also used it on my Ubuntu T60 notebook
with the same behaviour - Windows works correctly, Linux doesn't. So I
suspect it is a kernel and not a distro or hardware-related bug.

Here's another anomaly:

CTRL-ALT-RIGHT keys pressed and held in that order produces ALT-RIGHT
ALT-CTRL-RIGHT keys pressed and held in that order produces CTRL-RIGHT

Changing around keyboard models appears to have no effect on this problem.
