I'm also affected by this bug on Dell Inspiron M5110 (Q15R). This laptop has the same set of special buttons as Vostro V131.

Mentioned ECG1 method was also returning values 0x2000 and 0x1000 for me, but after applying the dell-laptop patch given by Michał Kępień ( http://www.spinics.net/lists/platform-driver-x86/msg07195.html ) it started returning values 0x2800 and 0x1800, so that NEVT method could catch these events by default.

Even though these keys have the same symbols on keyboard and they should work the same on M5110 and V131, mine dell-wmi detects them as events 0xe06e for key #2 and 0xe029 for key #3 (instead of 0xe026 and 0xe025 as on V131). As M5110 doesn't use dell_new_hk_type, I was able to simply map these events in dell-wmi in legacy keymap as unused XF86Launch keys and use them straight away in Xorg. But that's just a workaround for now.
