Comment 9 for bug 278781

Marked bug as non-duplicate.

It has come to my attention that there is a flood of keyboard volume button/wheel =hardware= quirks that have never been dealt with, all having the same general problems.

To keep a long story short, there is a fair chance (though not guaranteed) that this is a kernel input driver bug/quirk for your volume control input device. (and even if not, the following will help determine what is wrong)

What I need the bug submitter to do (if not already), is to provide a model number for their laptop/desktop (or if custom-built, provide the model number of your: keyboard or multimedia device with the volume control realted to this bug)

- and if you could please, put that model number in the summery with something like this:
"Toshiba Satellite U300 volume button repeating forever"

If we can keep these volume control bugs pertaining to the __system/hardware in question__, it will help the maintainers a lot more.

Althought I can't guarantee/guess immediately what is going on here, what I will suggest is:

Provide some logs of the following:
(If you get some logs that run forever, please cut them short)

# echo "dmidecode > mydmilog.txt" | sudo bash

# echo "showkey -s > mykeylog.txt" | sudo bash
(use your volume up, volume down, volume up, and then volume down)

# echo "xev > myxevlog.txt" | sudo bash
(use your volume up, volume down, volume up, and then volume down)

This will greatly assist the maintainers in understanding and dealing with your bug.

Hopefully this helps speed these problems along :)
