Is this bug the same as the long-standing bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217504 ? That one is
caused because the kernel now rejects the fake keypresses from acpi-fakekey if they are beyond KEY_MAX. This is now by design so acpi-fakekey is dead -- it is no longer a viable way to handle these keys and
another way needs to be found. Or have I misunderstood? Please see my post and later ones in that
bug thread.
