It appears that the function 'supports_xinput2_devices' in rico's ppa
checks for Xinput version 2.0 and 2.2.

(in ./plugins/common/gsd-input-helper.c)

The current quantal packages only enables Xinput2 support if it matches
2.0...

I will try to rebuild the current 3.4.2 with the patch from 3.5.5 and
see if it works.

Title:
  Hotkeys not functional after upgrade to quantal

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10, none of the hotkeys/media keys on
  my keyboard are no longer functional. Specifically, the brightness
  up/dn, volume up/dn/mute, keyboard backlight up/dn/off keys and the
  media control keys (rew/play/ff) don't work perform the expected
  functions.

  I've confirmed that the underlying functionality works- for example I can 
adjust the keyboard backlight from the command line via:
  `echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/smc\:\:kbd_backlight/brightness`

  Machine is a MacbookPro 3,1 with an external Apple USB keyboard.
  Hotkeys are non-functional on both the internal and external
  keyboards.

  To reproduce:
  1) Press the volume mute hotkey

  Expected results:
  Mute is toggled, and the indicator + OSD are displayed reflecting the new 
volume state

  Actual results:
  Nothing happens

  xev (run from gnome terminal) reports the following when I press the
  volume mute hotkey:

  KeyPress event, serial 41, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001,
      root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 6834066, (118,-23), root:(184,698),
      state 0x0, keycode 121 (keysym 0x1008ff12, XF86AudioMute), same_screen 
YES,
