Hi,
Please add me to Cc. I did not receive any notification about my bug report
and I'm responding now only because I found this in the list archives by
accident.

/lib/udev/keymap correctly reported the keypress events, but xev did not.
echo 166-245 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/force_release finally
fixed the problem. Is there any way to diagnose this issue without trial and
error? Maybe we should include a hint in README.keymap.txt.
It was a real pain to debug this, especially since I didn't even know where
to look, and google returns tons of misleading bug reports concering hal.
I'm afraid README.keymap.txt is the last place that people find. I have no
idea what to do about it though.
I suppose something like the following patch should fix the problem
permanently. Unfortunately, I was unable to test this, because the debian
package would not build with the new source code (rejected patches and other
issues), and after installing udev from git the kernel hangs at boot,
without leaving any traces in syslog.
Cheers,
Clemens
