Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hotkey-setup

Somewhere along the gutsy development track, some acpi hotkeys on my asus 
laptop keyboard stopped working. The concerned keys are the Lock, Eject and 
Brightness buttons. 
They can be fixed by adding the following lines to 
/usr/share/hotkey-setup/asus.hk:
setkeycodes     e005    $KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN   # Brightness down button
setkeycodes     e006    $KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP   # Brightness up button
setkeycodes     e009    $KEY_EJECTCD   # Eject button
setkeycodes     e00a    $KEY_COFFEE   # Lock key
The brightness keys did not actually generate a key event yet on a default 
installation, but are possible to integrate into gnome by following the 
information in bug 76593.


Also, there's these 2 for the Fn+F7 and Fn+F8 keys. Not sure about the actual 
$KEY they should get, i mainly post these for completeness.
setkeycodes     e007    $KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE   # Fn+F7 (backlight on/off)
setkeycodes     e00b    $KEY_VIDEOOUT   # Fn+F8 (display switch)
They generate the following acpi events:
Fn+F7:
hotkey ATKD 00000033 (when turning on)
hotkey ATKD 00000034 (when turning off)
Fn+F8:
hotkey ATKD 00000061
