I figured out that this fix would also fix the 6625WD's problem so the kernel just needs apply the fix for this model.
I attached a diff to widen the DMI signature to target the 6625WD, too (tested with mine, works fine).
There are users of the 6615WD model who still have this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/261721/comments/20
Seems like Zepto changed DMI entries in newer models of the 6615WD.
I obtained the dmidecode output of such a user and widened the DMI signature to target those models also (tested by a user, works fine).
Users with a Fujitsu Amilo Xi 2428 are also affected by this bug but the mute key is also broken.
I added a new method for fixing this notebook and added the DMI signature as well (tested by a user, works fine).
There seem to be more Notebooks with this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/291612
For each model the DMI signature hast to be added and maybe a specific fixup method has to be implemented.
However, both 6615WD models and the 6625WD need the same already implemented fixup method so I just linked the DMI signatures to that method.
Probably this patch needs to be applied to the Jaunty kernel as well.
This is my first kernel hack and my first bug report ever, so I wonder if I should file a bug report to kernel.org myself or will you guys do the job for me? :)
Since Intrepid, volume keys of Zepto Znote 6625WD don't work correctly as already mentioned here (also in 32bit): /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +bug/278103

However, a fix for the 6615WD has been already released (look for Zepto): www.kernel. org/pub/ linux/kernel/ v2.6/ChangeLog- 2.6.27. 8
