** Description changed:

- I have a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000, part of a wireless RF
- keyboard/mouse bundle, which comes with several media keys (Back,
- Forward, Play/Pause, Vol. Down, Vol. Up, Mute, Home, Search, Mail and
- Calculator). They worked perfectly in Hardy once I got all the keysyms
- straight in gnome-keybinding-properties.
- 
- Since updating to Intrepid beta (via update-manager), none of these
- multimedia keys work anymore. Apparently, no KeyPress/KeyRelease event
- is generated when they are pressed (checked with gnome-keybinding-
- properties and with xev). Further, I have gone as far as to go to a
- (tty) console and use 'kbd_mode -s' to see the raw input from the
- keyboard (thankfully I remembered about SysRq+R before rebooting ;)),
- and the multimedia keys do not generate any.
- 
- I am using the Generic 105 keys international distribution, which used
- to work perfectly under Hardy. I have also tried many other
- possibilities, including every Microsoft-branded keyboard in the
- database, several unrelated models and some of the generic keyboards
- (including the "Evdev-managed"), to no avail.
- 
- I have seen several other similar bugs, but none of them related to
- exactly the same behavior. I am using Intrepid beta, up to date.
+ Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 user here.  Confirming this is indeed a
+ regression.  I didn't realize how much I relied on the special keys
+ until they disappeared!  Would appreciate any insight into why this
+ regression occurred, in addition to what might be done to fix it.
