[Bug 1072371] Re: Add special keys for Samsung Series 9 laptops

[Piotr Plenik]

I have NP900X3C, and I don't see with special function keys in other
types (900X3B and 900X3A).

On fresh Ubuntu 12.10, i don't have key code event for 4 function keys
(i've checking using "/lib/udev/keymap -i input/event3").

I've created files:

# /lib/udev/keymaps/samsung-900x3c
0x97 kbdillumdown        # FN+F9 Keyboard backlight down
0x96 kbdillumup          # FN+F10 Keyboard backlight up
0xB3 silentmode          # FN+F11 Silentmode
0xD5 wlan                # FN+F12 WiFi

# /lib/udev/keymaps/force-release/samsung-900x3c
0x97 # FN+F9 Keyboard backlight down
0x96 # FN+F10 Keyboard backlight up
0xB3 # FN+F11 Silentmode
0xD5 # FN+F12 WiFi

and insert to files:
# /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules
ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="*900X3*", RUN+="keymap $name samsung-900x3c"

# /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keyboard-force-release.rules
ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", ATTR{[dmi/id]product_name}=="*900X3*", RUN+="keyboard-force-release.sh $devpath samsung-900x3c"

After adding this and reboot, FUnctional eksy is recognized correcty by
udev.
