Well... There are 5 keys in question. Each one is fn + something else. Some of them (wireless, brighter, darker) cause the bios to do something, and only generate a keyboard event on a down transition. The others (battery, cdeject) don't appear to cause the bios to do anything, and generate a keyboard event on both the up and down transition, and it is always the same scancode. Key Meaning 2.6 scancode 2.4 (direct) scancode fn-F2 wireless 0x13d e0 08 fn-F3 battery 0x136 e0 07 fn-F10 cdeject 0x13e e0 09 fn-down darker 0x125 e0 05 fn-up brighter 0x12e e0 06 The "2.6 scancode" is the scancode reported in the atkbd.c: Unknown key (set 2, scancode ...) message, and it is always a "pressed" message. It is also the scancode I use in the EVIOCSKEYCODE ioctl to associate a keycode with the key. The "2.4 (direct) scancode" is what I get back from "showkey -s". When I set i8042_direct=1, the keyboard doesn't work sensibly at all. Many keys cause "Unknown key" messages, other cause unrelated characters to start autorepeating. The 5 keys in question generate scancodes reported as 0x100 plus the second number in the "2.4 (direct) scancode" column. Setting atkbd_set=3 doesn't appear to affect things at all. It is still reported as an "AT Set 2 keyboard". When I enable debug in i8042.c, I get lots of messages about bytes to and from the i8042. There are no surprises in the bytes relating to keystrokes. They are exactly what is in the "2.4 (direct) scancode" column. I can send you the i8042 initialisation conversations if they will help. For my purposes, I need to use an "ioctl" to set a keycode for each scancode, so adding an ioctl to set the no-keyup status is no hassle for me. However the suggest approach of auto-detecting keys which have no up event would probably a good idea.
