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 ?

Hans
