Description Filipus Klutiero 2010-04-12 12:56:58 UTC 
The media player and my computer keys on the Chicony KU-0420 keyboard are generating wrong symbols with XKeyboardConfig 1.8. The first generates XF86Tools instead of XF86AudioMedia and the second generates XF86Explorer instead of XF86MyComputer.

I submitted the patch to add support for this keyboard in #15813 and verified things worked fine in 1.5. There must have been a regression since then. Unfortunately, I no longer understand how XKB works and can't provide a fix. The keys generate keycodes 179 and 152.

Could you provide xprop -root | grep XKB ?
Comment 2 Filipus Klutiero 2010-05-06 06:18:10 UTC 
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "chicony0420", "ca", "fr", ""

You are using the evdev driver. The keycodes are standard and basically they go from kernel. I guess you should report this bug to kernel developers. Or find the way to tweak keycodes generated by the kernel.
