Natty: g15daemon broken support for G510 keyboard

Tue Apr 12 21:39:46 UTC 2011

(CC to Giacomo since he did the g15daemon package in Debian; I'm not
sure if I should be talking to the Debian or the Ubuntu developers and I
apologize if ubuntu-devel-discuss is the wrong place)

This is with Natty.

I am using the Logitech G510 keyboard.  g15daemon supports it, but the
G keys are not mapped like they were with the G15 keyboard.  It's as if
there are multiple events issued.  For instance, here's xev running:
I switch to the xev window, hit G18, then stop xev.  There are multiple
key presses with crazy keycodes, breaking my window manager (I assign G
keys to Xmonad workspaces, but all the extra keypresses go to whatever
application was active at the time).

With my G15 keyboard, only a single keycode is seen, 192 in this case
for the G18 key.

I hope this is sufficient information.  Let me know if I need to provide
more.

Thanks
Ted
