Actually, I've found the former works better with the U300 series (as mentioned in the bug itself; the U300 toshibas have an odd volume wheel which loses sensitivity with the latter fix), while the latter is a more general-case solution.
As per the source of the problem, I've spoken with some people familiar with the history of evdev/kbd, and the consensus is that we're trying to fix a hardware problem with software. While that's generally not the best approach, we're left little choice. After a lot of thought, the consensus on the kbd project was to use a hack similar to mine. It is very much a hack- but I don't know what else we can do. If anyone has any better suggestions, I'd be glad to listen. I expect I'll get more work done on this tomorrow; I plan on borrowing another laptop (I have a U305) that exhibits this problem so I can do some more keyevent testing. -- Volume control wheel on laptop is sticking in ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/271706 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
