Multimedia key for stop not working correctly

[dfoerster]

Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

The multimedia keys on my keyboarded worked out of the box with the exception of the "stop" key. Instead of stopping playback it decreases the volume (just like the "lower volume" key).

The output from lsusb for the keyboard is:
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0603:00f2 Novatek Microelectronics Corp.

Please let me know how I can provide additional information.

Thanks,
David

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Can you verify the keycodes sent by each affected key?
Login to a tty console, by using Ctrl+Alt+F1 for example, then run showkey and press each key and note the keycodes sent.

Hi Sergio,

Thanks for responding. Here are the keycodes for all of the multimedia keys.

As I said in the report, they're all working except the Stop key which lowers the volume instead.

Play/Pause: 164
Stop: 166
Back: 165
Forward: 163

Mute: 113
Decr. vol: 114
Incr. vol: 115

Home: 172
E-Mail: 155

Hey dfoerster,

You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.

Hi Bryce,

The bug is still present in oneiric.
