Public bug reported:

Hi,

I own a Dell Vostro V131. This model has 3 special hotkeys (quick launch keys, see http://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/_migrated/pics/v131tastatur_01.jpg).
The keys are:
1. "Windows mobility center" (this hotkey generates Mod+X)
2. "Dell support center"
3. "Dell instant launch manager"

The "Dell support center" key generates keycode 0xEE, but misses release
event. I got it working with an udev "keyboard force release" quirk, see
attached patch.

The "Dell instant launch manager" key doesn't generate anything, neither
through dell-wmi nor i8042. It's the rightmost button in the right upper
corner of the keyboard.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete

** Patch added: "udev "keyboard force release" quirk"
