Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: acpi

I am reportin situation regarding my laptop Asus AF8
One button is incorreactly mapped, one button that my laptop does not use and 
it does not produce any keycode or acpi event, and two buttons that are used on 
windows but again, they don't produce keycodes.

I followed method 2 (no results) and 3 (some results) of 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch

Reporting key events:

Upon pressing Power4Gear (running man) button:
        hotkey ATKD 0000005c 00000006

This button should be used for switching between different power modes
(ones provided by klaptop and kpowersave) but it is mapped to
/etc/acpi/lockbtn.sh event (not sure what it does).

exact output of sudo tail -f /var/log/acpid

The one key that seems to be working:
Upon pressing Wireless key (when the wireless indicator is on):
        hotkey ATKD 0000005d 00000000

When you press it the second time, when the indicator is off you get:
        hotkey ATKD 0000005d 00000001

but the wireless does not go up actually - I can no longer detect
networks

The keys that produce no keycode:

* Bluetooth key (I dont have internal bluetooth, though)
* Splendid key (S on top of a monitor picture, on windows it provides different 
profiles of brightness/contrast, some special asus thing). Maybe it could be 
used for something as well?
* Media player key (a music sign in a square window), which could lounch a 
media player.
