Hello here i copy the report closed as won't fix:
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on BenQ nScreen i221, and most work well,
however,
when turn the volume control located in the lower right corner of the
monitor
is to suspend almost all of the panels. can't expand any menu and can't
enter
any data. blinking cursor and the mouse works, but writing is
impossible.
Pressing CTRL + ALT + F1 and then CTRL + ALT + F7 helps, but I don't
want to do
this every time.

The force-release quirk should be applied via UDEV which now has needed
facilities, see /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keyboard-force-release.rules
If you could also report this issue to udev maintainers that would be
great.
