Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
It appears that machines that have a software eject key are not able to
eject disks from gnome. In evaluating the cause of the problem, a lot
of possible indicators show up. At a first glance it seems to be an X
bug because pressing the key mapped to XF86Eject shows this output in
xev:
<jcristau> state 0x0, keycode 170 (keysym 0x1008ff2c, XF86Eject),
same_screen YES,
<jcristau> XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 169
This is actually the intended behavior though because there are indeed two
keysyms that match:
<jcristau> key <I169> { [ XF86Eject ] };
<jcristau> key <I170> { [ XF86Eject, XF86Eject ] };
There are two keysyms that match because the kernel supports two different
eject keys that act very similarly:
<jcristau> correspond to the following in the kernel:
<jcristau> #define KEY_EJECTCD 161
<jcristau> #define KEY_EJECTCLOSECD 162
Gnome-settings-daemon gets confused then because the keycode you press
in X is not the keycode it is expecting since it uses XKeysymToKeycode.
