Zepto 3215W hotkeys

[Sami Lahtinen]

Binary package hint: hotkey-setup

Zepto 3215W laptop has some hotkeys which does not work. Information and dmesg output follows.

1. WOW Audio

[ 1225.760541] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf5 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 1225.760551] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e075 <keycode>' to make it known.

2. WOW Video

[ 1375.643829] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf6 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 1375.643840] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e076 <keycode>' to make it known.

I dont know where these buttons should point, but if we get possibility to map these somewhere with Gnome "Keyboard shortcuts", then we can figure it out (home folder etc...).

3. Audio mute

Keycode: 0xa0

Does what expected, but led does not light up.

4. Wireless Wlan (FN + F2)

[ 2004.254042] atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x84 on isa0060/serio0).
[ 2004.254050] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e004 <keycode>' to make it known.

I think hotkeys should poit this way.

WOW Audio => Start default audio player

WOW Video => Start default movie player

FN + F2 => Bluetooth on/off, because in Zepto 3215W there is also "manual switch" for WLAN.

There are 2 more hotkeys that's not setup on the Zepto Znote 3215W. They are placed to the left of the keyboard next to the tab key. They are placed vertically.

The first one has a symbol with a S and a power connector at the bottom. dmesg gives:
atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf9 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e079 <keycode>' to make it known.

The other one has a symbol with a USB host symbol and a "lightning spike". dmesg gives no output when I press/release the key. Maybe the bottom isn't connected.

The first one is Q Charge button for Smart Battery.

Second one should not do anything when you have power on. With that button you can switch power on to USB-connector, when you have power off at your laptop, so you can charge your mp3-player etc.

Please note, that Zepto 3215W is based on Compal IFL91, so fixing this bug, fixes a many of other vendors laptop models too.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

The wow-buttons works and can be bound.
The Q Charge-button does not do anything, dmesg says the same as above.
Diode under mute-key does not work/light up. Functionality duped by Fn+F6
Fn + F2 sends XF86Close according to xev.
Fn + F3 does not do anything. Guessing it is supposed to switch configuration for external displays
