Hi,
I'm running Linux 5.18.7 on an HP Elite Dragonfly G2 laptop, which seems
to use the i8042 driver. Mostly things seem to work (including hotkeys)
except that the increase/decrease brightness keys instead send the "mic
mute" keycode. (The *actual* mic mute key works fine.)
Any ideas? Do we need to add a quirk?
Best,
Alex
Friendly ping? ????
I'm also CC'ing the x86 platform people into this, as I'm not sure
whether this problem is something more within their remit.
Best,
Alex

Please test the atbkd device with "sudo evemu-record" or "sudo evtest"
and if the brightness keys generate events there, write down the
raw event codes (MSC events).
Assuming the brightness keys indeed send events here, then:
After that you need to create an update to:
/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb to fix the mapping for your laptop.
See the "To update this file, create a new file ..." section.
You can find the DMI match pattern used in this file by doing:
cat /sys/class/dmi/id/modalias
Once you have things working, please submit a pull-req to upstream
systemd to get these quirk included in the offical hwdb. Or send
me a copy of the local 70-keyboard.hwdb override you have created
and I can submit it upstream for you.

I tried this but unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the whole story.
If I press "decrease brightness" I get:
Event: time 1657525393.922727, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
Event: time 1657525397.043348, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN),
value 81
Event: time 1657525397.043348, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 190 (KEY_F20),
value 1
Event: time 1657525397.043348, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
Event: time 1657525397.050384, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN),
value 81
Event: time 1657525397.050384, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 190 (KEY_F20),
value 0
And if I press "increase brightness" I get:
Event: time 1657525397.050384, -------------- SYN_REPORT ------------
Event: time 1657525398.607184, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN),

Event: time 1657525398.607184, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 190 (KEY_F20),

Event: time 1657525398.614190, type 4 (EV_MSC), code 4 (MSC_SCAN),
value 81
Event: time 1657525398.614190, type 1 (EV_KEY), code 190 (KEY_F20),
value 0
There's no difference! And I also get the same thing if I press the
*actual* mute mic button ????.
Any ideas?
Best,
Alex

From this it looks like we need to use some other interface to get
these events (+ ignore the above events).
Do you have a "HP WMI hotkeys" device in your list of input
devices? And are you getting any events on that ?
Likewise do you have a "Video Bus" device and any events on that ?
I've also added Jorge from HP to the Cc. Jorge, can you help with this ?
Regards,
Hans
Hi Alex,
Let me investigate this issue. The driver maps some keys, so it is possible the list is incomplete.
It is expected hp_wmi driver to be loaded, Correct?
Can you provide the BIOS version current in your system?

Hi Alex,
I confirmed brightness up/down and mute are AT translated set of keys and not handled by HP-WMI driver.
BIOS should be sending an 0x4 event which keycode 224 (brightness up), 225 (brightness down), and 190 (microphone).
Instead, BIOS is sending keycode 190 for all three keys.
I will search for an Elite Dragonfly G2 unit and try to duplicate the problem. Please send the BIOS version your system is running on.
This problem could have been reported and fixed in the latest BIOS version.
Look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi Alex,
Thank you for the BIOS information. The problem you are experiencing was fixed in BIOS version 01.07.02 Rev.A
- Fixes an issue where Fn+F3/F4 do not change the brightness of the display panel when the Privacy Panel is enabled in the F10 settings.
The latest BIOS version is 01.09.01 Rev.A so the problem will be resolved after BIOS upgrade. BIOS is not available via LVFS, you will need to install it via Windows executable.
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/laptops
Let me know if the problem is resolved.

I should maybe add that I think the keyboard was working fine when I had Windows 10 running on this machine and I haven't updated the BIOS since installing Linux.
In case it's relevant, I'm running Arch Linux with the following
kernel:
Linux ic-alex-elitebook 5.18.9-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat, 02 Jul 2022 21:03:06 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

That worked a treat. Thanks!
And if you have an internal ticked called "Support Elitebooks on LVFS"
or similar, feel free to add my +1 to it ????

HI Alex,
HP is working in publishing HP BIOS to LVFS and the team is making progress.
There are several BIOS published and it appears BIOS for your Elite Dragonfly is one of them.
See https://fwupd.org/lvfs/firmware/10948.
The BIOS is applicable to notebooks with T90 type BIOS. If you decide to try flashing the firmware, please do it at your own risk.
BIOS-System Firmware (1)
HP BIOS and System Firmware (T90)
Version: 01.09.10 Rev.A

Jorge Lopez
