Bug Description
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:/
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/
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

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/
* Media player key (a music sign in a square window), which could lounch a media player.

I can confirm this on the Samsung R55 which is also not producing any keycodes for the following hot keys:
fn+F2 (Show battery)
fn+F10 (Etiquette mode)
fn+up (Brightness up)
fn+down (Brightness down)
These keys could not be recorded using all the methods provided at: https:/
