of Fn combos too.

the additional key codes are fine though.

There is one thing (IIRC you already heard of) I'd like to discuss here.
It seems that on recent models the hotkeys layout hasn't changed for some time now, and it's likely to stay the same for a long time. However it is different from the one mapped in the driver, and some changes are required. For example:

- Fn-F1 (Touchpad togle enable) to KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE instead of KEY_FN_F1
- Fn-F5 (bright. down) to KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN instead of KEY_FN_F5
- Fn-F9 (zoom out) to KEY_ZOOMOUT instead of KEY_FN_F9
and so on.

To preserve support for older models we can use udev keymaps or a fallback map for any notebook not starting with the "VPC" model prefix (since a couple of years this is the starting model string). Is this solution acceptable? Having a correct mapping at the source instead of remapping for every model is better, is it possible?
