Event: time 1433538659.320476, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 14 (KEY_BACKSPACE), value 1 Event: time 1433538659.320476, -------------- EV_SYN ------------ Event: time 1433538659.320499, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 77e1c03d Event: time 1433538659.320499, -------------- EV_SYN ------------ Event: time 1433538659.320501, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN), value 77e1c03d Event: time 1433538659.320501, -------------- EV_SYN ------------ Event: time 1433538659.571124, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 14 (KEY_BACKSPACE), value 0 Event: time 1433538659.571124, -------------- EV_SYN ------------ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1461668 Title: ir-keytable presses recognised but not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/v4l-utils/+bug/1461668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
