Title:
Volume keys auto-repeat indefinitely in Medion laptop
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Summary: Several models of Medion laptops need to be added to
`/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb` so that volume keys don't auto-
repeat indefinitely.
----
I just installed Xubuntu on a Medion P6689 MD61019 laptop, and it
turns out that pressing the volume keys (Fn-F11/F12) causes them to
auto-repeat indefinitely, increasing/decreasing the volume until
reaching 100%/0%. Same happens with mute (Fn-F10). Apparently these
keys only send key press events but not key release ones.
It seems that this issue is common in Medion laptops:

* https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=233114
For those affected by this bug, I posted a workaround here:

I've attached the file with the workaround as I have it in my laptop
right now.
