The likelyhood that the root-cause was in an embedded controller was holding me back from reporting it. I believe the Mac keyboards use the generic HID driver in Windows, so it may be that there isn't a device-specific workaround, but maybe a generic workaround, though I can't reason the mechanism without more input-stack-fu. I guess one test hack to confirm our sanity would be to re-read the key state every 100ms until a matching key-up is received, logging when it detects a disparity between key state and no key-up received...? -- Daniel J Blueman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
