Bug Description
Binary package hint: acpi-support
On my EEE PC 901 with Lucid, in Gnome, I have XF86AudioMute assigned to Volume Mute, XF86AudioLowerV
When I press those buttons, the correct thing happens. However, if I press any button on the keyboard (letters, space), the same action happens again. For example, Fn-F7 (XF86AudioMute) and space causes mute and then unmute. Fn-F8 (XF86AudioLower
I have worked this around by uncommenting the acpi fakekey command in the respective files in /etc/acpi (mutebtn.sh, voldownbtn.sh, volupbtn.sh), like this:
$ cat /etc/acpi/
#!/bin/sh
test -f /usr/share/
. /usr/share/
#acpi_fakekey $KEY_MUTE
Any idea why I need to do this? On my desktop machine, these actions are triggered only once.

It sounds like these keys may now be correctly handled in the kernel, and we should get rid of the ACPI handling.
To confirm, please walk through the steps in /usr/share/ doc/udev/ README. keymap. txt.gz on "Fixing broken keys" and let me know the names of the keyboard devices shown on your system, as well as which input device has the 'volumeup' and 'volumedown' keys on its map. If it's the 'module' device that has these, please also run 'sudo lsinput' to get the more meaningful name for this device.
