Re: Pressing Caps Lock and Print Screen triggers the Decrease Brightness

Interesting that is new. Please run "sudo evtest" this will give you a list of input devices, then for each listed input device select it and then press the audio up/down keys to see if that device reports audio up/down presses.

I expect you will find 2 input devices which will report the audio up/down events. Please write down the name of the input-devices which cause these audio up/down events and please also save the full evtest output (showing the audio up/down key presses) for these 2 input devices.

And then report back here with the name of the 2 input devices as well as copy and paste or attach the evtest output for the 2 input devices.

Here is the output of "sudo evtest" with "/dev/input/event6:  Asus WMI hotkeys":

And here is with "/dev/input3: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard":

Thank you.

Can you please also try the speaker-mute key in evtest for the "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" and "Asus WMI hotkeys" and see if that reports double events too ?

Ok so the logs show what I expected / hoped for. We can detect the double key-presses inside the kernel and then filter them out.

I have prepared a series of patches implementing this, please give a kernel with these 4 patches added (see Arch docs on building a patched kernel) a try:
https://fedorapeople.org/~jwrdegoede/asus-wmi/

With this series the "Asus WMI hotkeys"  /dev/input/event# node should no longer report volume key-presses.

Note depending on in which order the PS/2 data vs the WMI event are handled the first volume key press may still be reported twice. This is a compromise versus DMI quirks (unmaintainable) or other more complex solutions.

Thanks for your effort but I think I will wait for the solution to get merged in the Kernel itself.

Hmm, 2 questions:

1. Can you please still answer: "Can you please also try the speaker-mute key in evtest for the "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" and "Asus WMI hotkeys" and see if that reports double events too ?" depending on the answer the patches may need to be modified.

2. Would it help of I ask an Arch developer to prepare an Arch kernel build for you to test? I prefer not to submit the patches upstream until I have confirmation that they fix things.

Re: Pressing Caps Lock and Print Screen triggers the Decrease Brightness

If this confirms the KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN events are coming from the "Asus WMI hotkeys" device,
then please edit /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb

And search for "Asus WMI hotkeys", this should find this section:

evdev:name:Asus WMI hotkeys:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnASUS*:pn*:*
evdev:name:Eee PC WMI hotkeys:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnASUS*:pn*:*
evdev:name:Asus Laptop extra buttons:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnASUS*:pn*:*
KEYBOARD_KEY_6b=f21                                    # Touchpad Toggle
KEYBOARD_KEY_7c=f20                                    # Remap micmute to f20

Change this to:

evdev:name:Asus WMI hotkeys:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnASUS*:pn*:*
evdev:name:Eee PC WMI hotkeys:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnASUS*:pn*:*
evdev:name:Asus Laptop extra buttons:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnASUS*:pn*:*
KEYBOARD_KEY_6b=f21                                    # Touchpad Toggle
KEYBOARD_KEY_7c=f20                                    # Remap micmute to f20
KEYBOARD_KEY_20=unknown

And then run "sudo udevadm hwdb --update" followed by "sudo udevadm trigger",
that should filter out the spurious keypresses.
