Bug Description
Using a Logitech Cordless Desktop MX700. All Multimedia Function keys are ignored, e.g. not detected.
In hardy - it still worked if under X (KDE 3.5.x) I did not use the evdev driver. In intrepid, even if not using the evdev driver, it doesn't.
The Mouse is working OK in fallback mode - e.g. only the default buttons are recognized.
If unplugging and replugging while under X , the Cordless Desktop Receiver, almost all Multimedia Keys are working. But not all.
I attached the xorg.0.log file, with the content of informations during the unplugging and replugging.
dmesg, lsusb and lspci also attached.
- I have tested the kernel proposed in Bug #281993 (regression fix for Microsoft Keyboards). Didn't work.
- I had the same issue in Hardy when letting the Keyboard running using the evdev Driver. When disabling it and configuring the Keyboard/Mouse Manually, it worked. The configurations that worked are documented here:

As you can see the keyboard and mouse drivers had to be explicitely used.
As proposed in Bug: 321740 I tried to check the showkey -s / -k commands on the console, showed up absolutely nothing. Kept staying empty. Not difference here even after replugging the Cordless Desktop Receiver.
Kernel Version:
- Linux firebird 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Jan 28 00:02:01 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
- Ubuntu 2.6.27-
Note that I have replugged the cordless desktop receiver several times in tests - so the unplug/repluging is seen at the end.
