hmmm this is true only in part, mainly for SNC hotkeys.

I was indeed referring to recent models ("the layout never really changed "recently"") using the SNC device for the hotkeys.

All the S1/S2, speed/stamina and friends keys vary from model to model
and sometimes send the same event for different keys.

So why are those keys are already fine in sony_100_events and never remapped by udev? I'm just talking about keys from SONYPI_EVENT_FNKEY_F1 to SONYPI_EVENT_FNKEY_F12 though.

lovely, does it make any difference if udev maps those keys and the
driver instead just sends FN_F* making old and new models send the same
keycodes and scancodes?

Models equipped with the SNC device are already using the same scancodes, there is no need to translate them twice.

> you're a bit too optimistic here but well...

Maybe, but I don't think that Sony wants to deal with model specific layouts under Windows as well (in fact it seems to me that is shipping the same base software on every model).
