[Bug 636311] Re: Keyboard special keys interfere with mouse

[_felix_]

In my case, event3 will be fired when pressing normal keys and event4
will be fired when pressing the multimedia keys. So here's my input-
event for device4 when pressing a volume key. After this the mouse
pointer jumped to the upper left corner.

felix at pc:~$ sudo input-events 4
