Upgrade from sys-fs/eudev-1.10-r2 to sys-fs/eudev-3.1.2 broke (most of) multimedia keys in my laptop. The laptop is HP Probook 4730s. Brightness up/down, screen lock and battery keys doesn't work anymore. The "showkey" command (sys-apps/kbd) on console doesn't show any key codes with eudev-3.1.2, while it shows with eudev-1.10-r2. Audio volume buttons work still with the newer version. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge sys-fs/eudev-3.1.2 2. Reboot 3. Run "showkey" command (sys-apps/kbd) in console and press brightness up/down or screenlock keys. Actual Results: The "showkey" command doesn't show any keys pressed. Expected Results: The "showkey" should show keycodes of pressed multimedia keys. Downgrade to sys-fs/eudev-1.10-r2 fixes the problem for me.

I tried different ebuild versions (which were already removed from the portage tree), and it seems that eudev-3.0 was the last working version. eudev-3.1 was the first broken one.
(In reply to Marko Hänninen from comment #2) > I tried different ebuild versions (which were already removed from the > portage tree), and it seems that eudev-3.0 was the last working version. > eudev-3.1 was the first broken one. The problem is that 60-keyboard.hwdb from sys-apps/hwids-20150129 is the current stable and still uses keyboard while 20150417 and above switched to the newer evdev. @Marko: can you try to install =sys-apps/hwids-20150417 and see if it fixes your problem. This does put us in a bad situation with respect to sys-fs/udev and systemd in that we will break their stable version if we upgrade hwids. Since I have an hwdb switch on eudev's configure script, I'm going to drop our dependencs on sys-apps/hwids and just install our own version. I have no idea why udev/systemd was engineered into tiny fragments all through the portage tree like this and this isn't the first time its caused issues.
Yes, I can confirm that installing =sys-apps/hwids-20150417 fixed the problem. Thank you very much, you guys really rock! =)
Reopening this due to eudev-3.1.2 being stable and no >=sys-apps/hwids-20150417 being stable.
20150717-r1 is in stable now :)
