For those of you with Microsoft Digital Media Keyboards the attached udev rules should quirk Xorg to ignore the problematic extra joystick/mouse device. It should be copied into /etc/udev/rules.d, and will require a restart before it will apply.
Note that I haven't been able to test this locally; it's possible that I've made a mistake, and it'll prevent X from detecting your keyboard at all - in that case you'll need to reboot into recovery mode and delete the /etc/udev/rules.d/99-quirk-microsoft-crazy-keyboard.rules file. This might also disable some of your extra function keys, but I'm not sure. I would be interested in the experiences of people with this keyboard when using this quirk. ** Attachment added: "99-quirk-microsoft-crazy-keyboards.rules" https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/636311/+attachment/1678481/+files/99-quirk-microsoft-crazy-keyboards.rules -- Keyboard special keys interfere with mouse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636311 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
