Bug Description
Updated June 3rd 2007 for Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)
Output of 'dmidecode -s':
manufacturer = Compaq
system-name = COMPAQ N150
model = 0F02
These hotkeys don't work (from left to right on the keyboard, see also: (see also: https:/
hotkey 0xa3 = 'help' fails, image is of a large serif font letter 'i'
hotkey 0x9f = 'home' fails, image if of a house
hotkey 0x9a = 'search' fails, image is of a magnifying glass
hotkey 0x9e = 'email' fails, image is of a closed envelope
I dropped to a terminal with FN+F1 and typed 'sudo showkey -u'. All the keys I tried gave something, but the hotkeys got no response with this command (just the first '0x9c' which is always there, even if I don't press anything)
They are physically separate keys, you can see them on this image as small round silver keys at the top of the keyboard, directly under the screen in the middle: http://
The dmesg output for those keys (comment 20) is:

hello,
i think that you don't need to open one bug per key that doesn't work you could summarize it in one bug report as the issue may be the same for all keys.
to sum up:
hotkey 0x9e = 'email' fails
hotkey 0x9a = 'search' fails
hotkey 0x9f = 'home' fails
hotkey 0xa3 = 'help'
