Get evtest to detect keyboard

[Wes Gilster]

I appologize in advance if this is more of a kernel question than XWin
question...

This is my keyboard:

Which is (more or less) the keyboard hp5185 here:

So it seems my keyboard should be supported for all of it's consumer
controls. Plus, on a previous install of Linux I had the keys working.
Sorry, I didn't keep track of the version because I didn't realize it
was going to be necessary.

Yet now, on kernel version:

uname -r

5.4.0-90-generic

...and Xorg -version

1.20.11


I run evtest against the Consumer Controls for my keyboard, for
"/dev/input/event5"(in my case) I only get:

KEY_HOMEPAGE

KEY_SEARCH

KEY_MAIL

KEY_STOPCD

KEY_PREVIOUSSONG

KEY_PLAYPAUSE

KEY_NEXTSONG

KEY_VOLUME_UP

KEY_VOLUME_DOWN

KEY_MUTE


I don't get:

KEY_EJECT

KEY_FINANCE

KEY_SHOP

KEY_SPORT

etc...
