Bug Description

Precise's udev package doesn't detect that the Dell Latitude 6430U or 3330 need keyboard force release synthesis. This causes undesirable behavior on these two systems. Quantal and upstream udev have an updated rule to handle the 6430U. Neither have such a rule to handle the 3330. We only ship Ubuntu pre-load systems with an LTS release installed, so the fix needs to be in Precise. Here is a patch to address both.

Fixed upstream for all Latitude/Precision models now (better to err on the side of applying it to too many models): http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=f6c9f322

As per the SRU exception (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#udev_keymaps), I took the opportunity to update all udev keymaps to the current systemd git master version for precise. SRU uploaded to review queue, unsubscribing sponsors.

  * Add 0000-upstream-keymaps.patch: Backport latest keymap fixes from
    upstream, as we won't be able to update to newer upstream releases anytime
    soon. (LP: #1193147, #1157334, #1152377, #1012365, #727139)
  * Refresh our patches to apply cleanly.

Hello Daniel, or anyone else affected,

Accepted udev into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/175-0ubuntu9.4 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

201302-12843, 201302-12844 (Dell Latitude 3330)
201208-11536 (Dell Latitue 6430U)
Steps:
1. Install 12.04.2 stock Ubuntu and boot to desktop.
2. Test if keyboard works as expected.
3. Press the "disable touchpad" hotkey (Fn+F3).
4. Test if keyboard works as expected.
5. Enable -porposed, and install the proposed udev (175-0ubuntu9.4).
6. Reboot.
7, Repeat step 2,3,4

Expected Result:
1. Keyboard should work before pressing the hotkey.
2. Keyboard should not work after pressing the hotkey.
3. Keyboard should work with the proposed udev installed, whether the hotkey were pressed or not.

Actual Result:
It works as expected.
