I wonder, if you press CapsLock/Favories and RightShift/Previous and monitor both event devices with evtest - will it report events on both devices at once?
I haven't really been following this thread but I think the two input devices is normal if the keyboard has multi-media keys. All the "extra" keys show up as a separate input device. You might get the CapsLock and RightShift events on one device and the Favorites and Previous events on the other. Hartley
