Bug Description

Binary package hint: hotkeys

I have a Razer Tarantula USB keyboard. It is generally working fine and most of the multimedia keys are fully working. But some keys don't work. The following tests are made with Jaunty Beta. The problem also exists with Intrepid.

Working multimedia keys: Sleep, Home, Player, Play, Stop, Next Song, Previous Song, Volume Up, Volume Down, Mute

I ran input-events to see if it recognizes the key events. I pasted the output.

No events: Rotate, Zoom 100%, Shuffle
Not working but events were found: Zoom In, Zoom Out

So some of the keys that are not working in X did show an event. They do have a key code that is over 0x0ff. (0x1a2 and 0x1a3)

acpi_listen didn't see the key presses. I also pasted the part of xorg.log that shows messages about this device.
