Hi,
My new Lenovo IdeaPad S206 has a special button ("OneKey recovery system"
button) that I wanted to re-map to a sleep button. I did this, and it
works well. There is also a QS key, that one could profitably re-map.
Along the way realized that the generic IdeaPad mappings of the Ubuntu 12.10
distro are largely incompatible with the keys on this computer.
So I set out to remedy that.
I'm not sure I'm following best practices though. In particular, should
existing IdeaPad rules be restricted, or should the mappings be overridden?
I have some evidence that the mappings here should also work for the S200,
but I'm pretty sure they *aren't* appropriate for the S205.

The OneKey button on this machine is perfect for a sleep button:
it is easily accessible, but impossible to press accidentally.
To simply re-map the OneKey button, I first observed:
A 0x10 press-release pair is emitted if the button is given a substantial
press, and released. After about 3 sec of continuous pressing,
a 0x11 press-release pair is emitted.
I put a rule like this under "keyboard_modulecheck":

For the other keys, I have made a keymap file, which at least gets the proper
mappings going. I'm not sure if I really improved anything. See attached.
For one thing, some of the keys don't seem to make scan codes on any device
(the camera key on the F9 key.) Some seem to work regardless of how I map
them -- I guess that means they're going straight to hardware and the
system just reads the hardware state.
I'll be glad to hear what you think!
