Bug Description
Binary package hint: udev
Pressing Fn-F8 appears to produce symbol 'p' on Maverick beta. keymap -i reports two scan codes when Fn-F8 is pressed:
0xDB (leftmeta) and 0x19 (p). When I press Fn and hold it, no scancode is reported -- both scancodes are reported when F8 is later pressed with Fn still held. README.keymap.txt does not say how to fix such situation, so all I can do is report all data.
$ cat /sys/class/
Dell Inc.
$ cat /sys/class/
Latitude E6410
Keymap and udev db will be attached.

Also, Fn+F2 (disable battery charge), Fn+F3 (battery), Fn+F7 (DCP) produce no scan codes at all. Here "disable battery charge" is supposed to make laptop stop charging a battery, and "DCP" on windows pops up some Dell utility. I suppose the latter makes no sense on Linux, while the former can be potentially useful. Also, Fn-F10 and Fn-F11 produce the same scancode 0xB7 -- while they should produce different ones for sysrq and printscreen respectively.
