2009-07-09 17:04:15 Jerone Young description The Soltech TA12 netbook does not send a release key when pressing volume up, volume down, or mute. This causes Ubuntu to see the key constantly being pressed. Zareason (www.zareason.com) is evaluating to this product to ship with Ubuntu 9.04. A patch attached was written for the latest 2.6.28 jaunty tree branch, and has been tested by Zareason who has verified it working on the hardware. To reproduce this problem: 1) Get Soltech TA12 notebook (Soltech is a Chinese ODM) 2) Press Volume down key 3) Notice the volume keeps going down to 0 even though you pressed the key once. * Will be writing a different patch for upstream 2.6.30+ as the code has been refactored upstream since 2.6.28.

Please consider this patch to fix this issue for Jaunty SRU. * Will be writing a different patch for upstream 2.6.30+ as the code has been refactored upstream since 2.6.28. SRU Justification: Impact: Netbooks based on the Soltech TA12 do not send a key release for volume keys causing Linux to think the key is constantly being pressed forever. Fix: Attached is a patch that forces a key release when volume keys are pressed (will get submitted upstream). Testcase: After booting with the patch applied, when volume key is press a key release will be sent so the volume keys can work as expected. --- The Soltech TA12 netbook does not send a release key when pressing volume up, volume down, or mute.
