Why don't we implement the same solution that was implemented in the old Xorg KBD drivers?

That is, add to the PostKbdEvent() function in evdev.c something along the lines of:

    /* fix events for volume keys */
    if(ev->code == KEY_VOLUMEDOWN || ev->code == KEY_VOLUMEUP)
    {
 //post a keydown and then a keyup, as media keys have no automatic key-up
 xf86PostKeyboardEvent(pInfo->dev, code, 1);
 xf86PostKeyboardEvent(pInfo->dev, code, 0);
 return;
    }

?
