I also have a Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 5000, and I am having the same issue.
I found something interesting as I was using xev to see if the key events were happening. In Hardy, all the multimedia keys worked except for the 5 "My Favorites" keys in the center of the keyboard; these keys did not trigger an event in xev when pressed. Now the problem is opposite - the 5 My Favorites keys work, but _not_ the others. -- [intrepid] REGRESSION: multimedia keys no longer working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281993 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
