Attached is a patch enabling (most of) the Fn function keys for the Asus ROG
Strix GL730 Laptop. The keyboard identifies as a USB device 0x1869.

This patch enables:
     volume/mute keys, ROG key, rew/play/ff,
     monitor and keyboard brightness keys,
     Touchpad toggle key,
     Calculator key

'Touchpad on/off' Key returns keycode 33, which is mapped to the 'p' key.
'Display on/off' returns keycode 253, which is mapped in X11 to NoSymbol
'Airplane Key' returns keycode 255, which is mapped in X11 to NoSymbol

The following keys are not activated yet:
        Microphone Mute key, Fan key, Display Switch key
Thanks a lot for the patch.

This patch is against the 4.17-rc7 kernel, for the x86 architecture
This usually doesn't go to the changelog, it'd be unnecessary polution of
the set-in-stone git changelog.

diffstat for this patch is:
  hid-asus.c   |    2 ++
  hid-ids.h    |    1 +
  hid-quirks.c |    1 +
  3 files changed, 4 insertions(+)

To apply the patch, in the root of the kernel tree use:
patch -p1 < AsusGL703-Keyboard-Fn-keys.patch
Neither does any of this.

What is OTOH missing is your signoff.

Could you please fix these up and resubmit (ideally with Subject: line
also tailored to fit the subsystem customs, IOW something like "HID: asus:
add support for ....").

Thanks,

Thanks for your reply. However, I am confused. Pleas bear with me as this is the very first time that I submit a patch and I followed some guidance that I found on the internet (obviously not the correct one).

I suppose I just need to delete the parts of the email where you write "this doesn't go in the changelog".

I am not sure what my signoff should contain. Could you point me to a correct guide for this ?

Thanks.
