The event_key_remap option is not part of upstream xf86-input-evdev. It appears to be provided by a patch from: http://www.thenautilus.net/SW/xf86-input-evdev/. As such, it is not supported by Ubuntu.
Your options are: * Propose the patch for inclusion in upstream xf86-input-evdev and/or Ubuntu - It's too late for Precise though, we're already past the feature freeze * Apply the patch and build evdev manually for your machines * Add the patch to the evdev package and upload it to a PPA - You will need to update every time a new release is made in Precise My recommendation is to propose the patch for inclusion in upstream xf86 -input-evdev. Ubuntu would then receive the feature in future releases. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/969495 Title: evdev stopped remapping events To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/969495/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
