@Darek: Thanks for reporting, this proves there are more Dell laptop
models than just the Vostro V131 that need a specially crafted SMI in
order to receive events via WMI. BTW, hotkey #2 reports WMI event 0xe06e
on Vostro V131 (the same one as on your Inspiron), not sure why you
mentioned 0xe026.

Could you perhaps create a list for your laptop similar to the one
below?

The more the merrier: the situation right now is that we know the
solution, but it cannot be merged into mainline just yet because we need
a method to determine which laptop models need this special SMI and
which ones don't. There is also another issue with keycode generation
happening on some models and not happening on others:

To solve both these problems The Right Way™, we could really use some
help from Dell, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be coming.
