[Bug 376131] [NEW] iOne SCORPIUS R-30 wireless keyboard anomalies

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I've used this keyboard in Windows and it works flawlessly -- this is
one of those USB RF wireless devices ... with a built in mouse touchpad
giving the look and feel of a notebook machine.

Keep in mind this is not particularly a BIOS or USB issue as the
keyboard responds just fine with the BIOS menu up.

Some combinations of keys, like CTRL-ALT-DEL are not recognized in
Jaunty 9.04. You can observe this behaviour in the keyboard shortcuts
dialogue when setting a disabled entry. For example CTRL-ALT-DEL is
recorded as ALT-DEL and other keystroke combinations are misreported.
Here's an interesting example:

CTRL-RIGHT produces CTRL-RIGHT
ALT-RIGHT produces ALT-RIGHT
CTRL-ALT-RIGHT produces ALT-RIGHT (see comment below)

I've retested it with Windows XP on the identical system. Keyboard works
properly. I've tested it with PCLinuxOS 2009 and Fedora 10 with
identical results as Ubuntu. I've also used it on my Ubuntu T60 notebook
with the same behaviour - Windows works correctly, Linux doesn't. So I
suspect it is a kernel and not a distro or hardware-related bug.

Here's another anomaly:

CTRL-ALT-RIGHT keys pressed and held in that order produces ALT-RIGHT
ALT-CTRL-RIGHT keys pressed and held in that order produces CTRL-RIGHT

Changing around keyboard models appears to have no effect on this
problem.
