Bug Description
The HP Spectre x360 13-4105ng is a Convertible Laptop being able flip the Display/Lid over so it can be used as a tablet. When changing the mode to "tablet" (fliping the lid to the bottom side) the Keyboard is deacticated and this is revesed on switching the mode back. Perfect.
To have the user experience probably expected we are missing several functions like screen flip, switching the touchpad off, etc. Not the issue here as this can be scripted easily.
The problem is that I fail to hook into the events.
Expectation: Having these events mapped to suitable key peresses by default.
Description:
When the screen is tipped over to the bottom (entering tablet mode) syslog shows key press events:
Jan 8 18:51:16 hp-spectre kernel: [150865.472396] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd8 on isa0060/serio0).

These events need to be accessible in Unity, so you are able to call scripts to do the tasks required for the event.
I di try to use setkeycode and failed to have these keypress events available in X.
After reading some doumentation, e.g. https:/
-------
#evdev:name:<AT Translated Set 2 keyboard>
evdev:input:
KEYBOARD_
KEYBOARD_
-------
Running
# udevadm hwdb --update
# udevadm trigger
But I did not manage to get these Keys to be mapped, so I could use it for assigning keypress events in Unity.
FYI (not sure if this is of any help):
