[Bug 581312] [NEW] Unknown key fee[x] pressed

[Mark Shuttleworth]

Public bug reported:

On a Dell Latitude XT2 (tablet PC with N-Trig touch screen) I see a
constant stream of messages in syslog like this:

... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key fee6 pressed
... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key fee7 pressed
... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key fee9 pressed
... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key fee8 pressed
... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key ffd0 pressed
... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key fee6 pressed
... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key fee8 pressed
... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key fee9 pressed
... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key 11 pressed
... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key ffd1 pressed
... kernel: [timestamp] [host]: Unknown key e048 pressed

There is no keyboard or mouse activity, but the messages still keep
coming. They seem to come at random, sometimes one every second or so,
sometimes there's a gap of 15-30 seconds between the messages. But they
don't every seem to stop completely.

I *think* the laptop has an accelerometer, and I've noticed that picking
the laptop up and moving it around seems to generate some activity.

Any suggestions?

Mark
