hello,
can anyone help me to make my multimedia keyboard work under F10?
Any suggestions how to make my multimedia keys work again are appreciated

thanks, but this is a dead end. That quirk presumes that your
multimedia keys produce some events in either xev or dmesg or at least
"sometimes work using extra software like tpd and lineakd". Well, I
repeat my keys produce no output neither xev nor dmesg. Lineakd again
relies on xev output so the circle closes, and I was not able to find
that tpd software but I assume this is something for Lenovo Thinkpad
laptops so not applicable for my Microsoft keyboard.
This keyboard used to work just perfectly in F8 with kbd driver and I
still believe it is possible to make it work with evdev.
ok, a little bit more research reveals that all my problems are because
of the kernel bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11759
which is a result of some improvement. This resulted in a bunch of
people with broken keyboards . There's a temporary patch turning off
that improvement, but you need to recompile the kernel module and no
permanent solution exists so far.

I'm running F9 x86_64 and F10 i386 on x86_64 hardware, should this matter.
