** Patch added: "xserver-xorg-input-libinput_1.4.0-1ubuntu24.04.1.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-libinput/+bug/2103967/+attachment/5866785/+files/xserver-xorg-input-libinput_1.4.0-1ubuntu24.04.1.debdiff
** Description changed: [ Impact ] == Background == * Xorg does not take keycodes > 255, where Mic Mute is mapped to 256 by evdev * xkeyboard-config remapped the key to F20 since this patch: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54171 along with other hardware-specific hacks in hwdb. == Current status == * We happened to have some devices having Mic Mute key untranslated by hwdb, typically we just add entries in hwdb to fix the issue * Systemd devs decided not to translate the key to F20 anymore, the translation task is pushed to xserver-xorg-input-libinput for Xorg. We would like to include a patch, so that xserver-xorg-input-libinput can do translation for Xorg, which we could leverage it for enabling Mic Mute key in future hardware. [ Test Plan ] * Find a device that does not have Mic Mute key translated by hwdb, starts Desktop in Xorg mode * Test that mic mute does not work * Update the package to -proposed and restart desktop, test the same key, the mic mute key should work to mute the microphone. [ Where problems could occur ] * Since mic mute key is forcibly translated to F20 despite of hardware, if there's any application using that key for other features, it may be in conflict. + + [ Other information ] + + * Changeset https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input- + libinput/-/commit/cb80d7f82d35f8068e06d45860ed958a948e15bf + + * This changeset has been included in plucky -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2103967 Title: [SRU] Include a patch that forcibly maps mic mute key and touchpad function keys to F20-F23 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/2103967/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
