"attach to the devices one by one using sudo input-events <devnum> (in the input-utils package), using the number returned by lshal as part of input.device, and press the hotkey to see if an event is generated"
It's quite clear which device is which, but no matter what I press (normal key, function key, whatever), input-events never picks up anything:
> waiting for events
> timeout, quitting
All the beforehand steps have been fine until this point (including disabling gnome-power and gnome-settings).
