I was playing around with xev to see the keycodes that the FN+SoundUp, FN+SoundDown keys would give on my Dell Inspiron 4100 and it didn't register any events whatsoever. Does anyone knows if this would be something handled by X events or lower (eg: contact the maintainer of the Dell Inspiron Laptop kernel patch).
Thanks!
