Hi, I hope it's appropriate to advertise my kernel bug here to get some traction... In short: under vanilla 2.6.37, the Fn key of my ThinkPad R50e is active on the console: it adds NUL characters to the input stream on each release. This happens without any userspace involvement, at the very start of the initramfs phase of bootup (after break=top for those using initramfs-tools): (initramfs) cat ^@ At this stage no modules are loaded (my .config and dmesg is linked from https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27362). Showkey prints 0x00 0x81 0x8f 0x00 0x81 0x8f on release of the Fn key (with autorepeat). These NUL characters constitute a bug in my opinion. Please let me know if I can help finding the cause. -- Thanks, Feri. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
