Bug Description

Hello,

I've been sent here from brainstorm. I'm bought a Sidewinder X4, a very popular low price keyboard USB Keyboard which works fine except for the Macro keys, which don't work at all. It would be cool if you could fully support it, especially since gaming will become more important to ubuntu in the next few months than ever. And it's always a K.O. criteria for gamers, when they can't use the peripherals they bought.

Regards,

Kay

This appears to be a regression with update to 13.04. The multimedia keys were working fine with 12.10.

For me, this seems to have been fixed with latest kernel upgrade: 3.8.0-29.
