** Summary changed: - special dell xps keys have scan codes already used by other keys + [Dell XPS 17 (L702X)] Three special keys have scan codes already used by other keys -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001026 Title: [Dell XPS 17 (L702X)] Three special keys have scan codes already used by other keys Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Dell's XPS computers (mine is a L702x) have three touch sensative keys (I've included a picture) that aren't working properly. It seems that these keys have been given scan codes already claimed by other keys. Using showkey -s, I've found this: Key 1: 0xe0 0x5b 0x2d 0xad 0xe0 0xdb Key 2: 0xe0 0x4c 0xe0 0xcc Key 3: 0xe0 0x19 0xe0 0x99 In windows these keys are used to reach settings, sound options, and an application of your choice. But in Ubuntu I can't give them a purpose because the above scan codes are already taken by other buttons as follows. Key 1: The "x" key has the scan code 0x2d 0xad The super key has the scan code 0xe0 0x5b 0xe0 0xdb which together match the Key 1 scan code Key 2: has a scan code identical to the brightnessdown key, which if fn + F4 Key 3: has a scan code identical to the next track key, which is fn + F10 So these three touch keys can't be used as intended (I've been trying to use them to launch important applications). Right now, they perform the same actions as the keys with matching scan codes. That is, Key 1 opens the launcher and occasionally types the letter "x", Key 2 lowers the brightness, and Key 3 skips tracks. I'd like to give these keys some useful function. Thanks a lot.
