[Bug 550979] Re: Volume increase & decrease by function buttons never release on Dell Studio 1558

[Matt G]

Moved this bug report over from bug #465250

I'm running Karmic (9.10) amd64 on my Dell Studio 1558 (Intel Core i3
processor) and I also experience this bug.

The mute key (F7) works fine.
But the volume up (F9) and volume down (F8) keys have problems
Not only do they not stop increasing (or decreasing) in volume, but my computer becomes unresponsive.
I find myself having to press control + alt + delete to restart (brings me back to the good old days of Windows!)

Looking forward to a fix.


@Jerone

Thank you for the file. So if I understand correctly, copying 95
-keyboard-force-release.rules to /lib/udev/rules.d/ will only work on
10.04, and not on 9.10?
