Title:
Unknown "Video Bus" device continuously generates keys combination
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Issue starts at boot process and looks like repetitive generation "^@" symbol combination in console. In the graphical interface it causes windows and cursor flickering, but only after login screen (login screen is working well) and when switching to console (ctrl + alt + f1) I'm not able to login because all keyboard input is mixed with "^@" symbols. Experimentally I found that issue is caused by unknown device listed as "Video Bus" in xinput --list:
$xinput --list --long
↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
This device is disabled
Reporting 1 classes:
Class originated from: 8. Type: XIKeyClass
Keycodes supported: 248
When device is disabled by following command:
$xinput set-prop 8 "Device Enabled" 0
Flickering of graphics stops, and after switching to console (ctrl + alt + f1) and back (ctrl + alt + f7) the device is enabled back.
If second monitor is plugged flickering of windows stops and system starts to turn off and on both monitors with different resolutions.
Here are all possible details of the "Video Bus" device which I managed to found:
$xinput --watch-props 8
