There is a protocol named WMI for Windows Management Interface. I assume that it was invented by the folks in Redmond. In any case, it is designed to handle events that have buttons that do not generate a keycode. The module named hp-wmi is supposed to take care of the things under Linux for HP and Compaq computers. Did you generate this module? Is it loaded? I dont use this module on my HP as my RFKILL switch generates a keycode. Others may be able to help you with it.
