Title:
  Dell Vostro V131: special keys not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
