@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? http://www.spinics.net/lists/platform-driver-x86/msg07191.html 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: http://www.spinics.net/lists/platform-driver-x86/msg07226.html 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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1205791 Title: Dell Vostro V131: special keys not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/udev/+bug/1205791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
