+ forever.
+
+ Fix: Attached is a patch that forces a key release when volume keys are
+ pressed (will get submitted upstream).
+
+ Testcase: After booting with the patch applied, when volume key is press

The Soltech TA12 netbook does not send a release key when pressing
volume up, volume down, or mute. This causes Ubuntu to see the key
constantly being pressed.
Zareason (www.zareason.com) is evaluating to ship this with Ubuntu 9.04.
A patch attached was written for the latest 2.6.28 jaunty tree branch,
and has been tested by Zareason who has verified it working on the
hardware.
To reproduce this problem:
1) Get Soltech TA12 notebook (Soltech is a Chinese ODM)
2) Press Volume down key
3) Notice the volume keeps going down to 0 even though you pressed the key
once.
Please consider this patch to fix this issue for Jaunty SRU.
* Will be writing a different patch for upstream 2.6.30+ as the code has
been refactored upstream since 2.6.28.
