Package: udev
Version: 241-7~deb10u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

typical laptop 'extra' keys aren't properly working, both dim and
brighter buttons get registered identical as mic on/off. I've checked
upstream's git changes:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commits/master/hwdb/60-keyboard.hwdb
(and they moved the file last month, checked there too). Latest Bios,
using default Wayland/Gnome.

sudo showkey -s
kb mode was ?UNKNOWN?
[ if you are trying this under X, it might not work
since the X server is also reading /dev/console ]

press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
0x9c 
0x5a 0xda 
0x5a 0xda 
0x5a 0xda 

When doing this, nothing gets output, but gnome shows the mic on/off:

sudo evtest /dev/input/event5
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x19 vendor 0x0 product 0x0 version 0x0
Input device name: "HP WMI hotkeys"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (EV_SYN)
  Event type 1 (EV_KEY)
    Event code 138 (KEY_HELP)
    Event code 141 (KEY_SETUP)
    Event code 148 (KEY_PROG1)
    Event code 153 (KEY_DIRECTION)
    Event code 224 (KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN)
    Event code 225 (KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP)
    Event code 226 (KEY_MEDIA)
    Event code 240 (KEY_UNKNOWN)
    Event code 358 (KEY_INFO)
  Event type 4 (EV_MSC)
    Event code 4 (MSC_SCAN)
  Event type 5 (EV_SW)
Properties:
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)

I've given it a try with Qubes on X instead of Wayland, tried without an
X-server: all the same, not sure how to debug further.

I feel a bit violated that reportbug wants to add over 7000 lines of
identifiable hardware.
I'm happy to dig up and share *relevant* parts, please tell me.

Ok, then this appears to be a hardware/firmware/linux issue and we can't
really do anything about that in udev/systemd. All we can do in udev is
to remap keycodes.
Thus closing
