I suffer the same problem in my HP 6730b. When I press the + or - volume function keys (tactile keys between keyboard and screen) then the key blinks like if it's being continously pressed and notify-osd shows in the screen the volume meter until I reboot the computer. The notify-osd

@Matt -- that is correct: The 95-keyboard-force-release.rules method is only applicable to 10.04 Beta -- it will not work for previous releases. Fixing this for 9.10 requires a fix in the kernel itself. I am going to try to extend the in-kernel fix for the Studio 1557 (now pending for release

Thanks Jerone -- yes, I also confirm the fix for the Dell Studio 1558. I also note that there are reports of the exact same problem on other (non-Dell) laptop models (LP: #42043, LP: #374884). The same fix is likely to work for them too. Would you like to address those bugs, or should I? **
