@Jonathan Thurn Excellent, thank you for the information. I can tell by the showkey logs that the R4000 was suffering from the exact keyboard quirk as the R4100. The information you have provided was used to form this combined patch (R4000.patch). We'll kill two birds with one stone :) (This

Hi jetdog, Thanks for the report and writing a patch, that's awesome. Unfortunately the patch won't apply cleanly to the upcoming Karmic kernel - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu- karmic.git;a=summary . The kernel for Karmic is going to target the 2.6.31 kernel and it seems the

We have received a report that the R4200 may also be affected. Anybody with this laptop who is experiencing volume keys sticking/endlessly- repeating in Ubuntu is highly encouraged to submit a response. Or, if your laptop exhibits these symptoms, and is an HP/Compaq R4000-series, I would like a

I notice the patch is explicitly labeled for the R4100, but I'm sure there are others that have the same volume key behavior (at least my R4000 does, down to the reported showkey codes). Would it be more prudent to include a larger swath of this laptop's various model (the entire R4000 series) in

This patch addresses an issue in the r4100 series - mine particularly is the R4125CA. If there are more in the R4000 series this could very well apply as well. Though, i need to make sure the quirk is the same with the following information: Can you post the output of the following from outside

@jetdog: Thanks for considering enlarging the laptop model scope this patch would address. I've attached the showkey output (first some VOLUME_DOWN then VOLUME_UP and for good measure I've added a few VOLUME_MUTE at the end. One note about the way default Ubuntu installs work for when you're
