ASUS T300 CHI Keyboard Fn Mappings

[Dalton Durst]

I believe that this is in the incorrect queue, but Launchpad would not allow me to move it to udev.

I am submitting this bug report following the directions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Ubuntu 16.10

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
  Installed: 231-9git1

The Fn+F5,F6,F7, and F9 combinations do not produce the desired behavior of changing screen brightness or toggling the touchpad on the ASUS T300 Chi bluetooth keyboard. They do not produce any response whatsoever.

They key events (as according to evtest) and their functions are listed below.

type 2 (EV_REL), code 9 (REL_MISC), value 16 : Brightness Down (Fn + F5)
type 2 (EV_REL), code 9 (REL_MISC), value 32 : Brightness Up (Fn + F6)
type 2 (EV_REL), code 9 (REL_MISC), value 53 : Disable LCD Backlight (Fn + F7)
type 2 (EV_REL), code 9 (REL_MISC), value 107 : Disable Touchpad (Fn + F9)

Please let me know if I missed anything, this is my first bug report.

my asus t300 chi has the same issue with the function keys f1-9

Oh, thanks for the reminder! This was actually resolved around the 17.10 series if I remember correctly. The resolution was probably a proper driver in the kernel for the device since the touchpad and other modifier keys started working better at the same time.
