[Bug 1157334] Re: Volume control keys lock keyboard (Advent 8117)

[Polaris Borealis]

I read though the info at wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting but don't understand it fully.
I seems to be like the problem described in 'Step by Step Troubleshooting' 4.b.
Not sure how to capture it (keyboard locks when I recreate fault anyway)

Title:
  Volume control keys lock keyboard (Advent 8117)

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I adjust the volume on my laptop using the keys  (Fn+F5/F6) the
  keys repeat (making the volume go all the way up/down) and then try to
  continue increasing/decreasing.

  Not only can I not adjust the volume properly (set to a medium vol) I
  can no longer use any text input field (the keyboard no longer works),
  and the system icons (top right, volume etc.) no longer respond to
  mouse clicks.

  First noticed on 13.04, but same problem found with 12.10 (usb boot).
  Is there some driver I need to install to fix this? (Advent laptop 8117, intel dual core T2080 1.73GHz)
  BIOS doesn't apear to be updateable
