I assume, however, that the "normal" keys on your keyboard, like 0-9 and A-Z, work fine, or you wouldn't even be paying attention to the multimedia keys. :-) The alphanumeric keys on the remote don't work at all. Therefore your symptoms are at least somewhat different, and you should file a separate bug report. If it turns out to be the same, it is easy to mark the bug report as a duplicate, but it is hard to disentangle multiple issues from within a single bug report. -- - mdz -- ATI USB remote keypresses ignored https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
