The headset also has buttons on it which register as a keyboard: [252903.181] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Creative Technology SB Arena Headset" (type: KEYBOARD, id 15) When it is plugged in, it then starts sending button 3 presses for the entire time it is plugged in causing input from other devices to not be useable. Here is the current bug with more information: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1007575 I'd like to help fix this, and am wondering if it makes sense to quirk the kernel HID driver, or rather quirk the X evdev module as was suggested by another developer. Thanks, --chris j arges
