["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

chris_s, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest
development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
could you please run the following command in the development release
from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will
automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc4

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  15c2:0036 [ZOTAC NM10] imon kernel module triggers continuous escape
  keystrokes

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a SoundGraph LC16M VFD Display/IR Receiver (15c2:0036) in an
  'origen ae' case and as soon as the imon kernel module is loaded I get
  a continuous stream of escape keystrokes making the system unusable
  until I blacklisted the module.

  After getting some basics like network and ssh running I started some testings on the module:
  loading the module with 'debug=1' revealed a continuous stream of 'intf1 decoded packet: 00 00 00 00 17 00 02 ee' in my syslog. Since everything seemd to work with natty (although I used a legacy lirc module via dkms there most of the time) I simply tested the same in my previous installation with almost the same result: The messages in syslog are the same when the module is loaded with debug, but there are no escape keystrokes present.
  So I compared the imon modules source code of the 2.6.38 natty kernel and the 3.2.0 precise kernel and found next to some minor changes that several new keycodes where added in imon_panel_key_table including 0x000000001700ffeell which happens to be escape. So the module received those packets all along, but did not decoded them.

  Now the question is:
  Is my SoundGraph module simply broken (I have no hardware to compare with).
  Is this behaviour standard for that specific device (15c2:0036) and some filter code is needed in the imon module.
  Is there an error somewhere else in the code generating these data packets.
  Did the manufacturer of my case (origen ae) some customizations to the SoundGraph module, causing this behaviour.

  While researching this problem I stumbled accros some entries with similar headlins in some german vdr and xbmc mailing lists, but they concluded the cause due to sticking buttons. By the way: Other than the cases powerbutton (which is looped though the module), there are no buttons on the module or connected to it.
