OK, that makes it a kernel bug then, reassigning. The driver needs to
send evdev events for these keys.

> F3,F4,F7,F9 : no output, did produce output in previous Asus device
test.

Yes, that's expected. They are appearing on the WMI device, not the AT
keyboard device.

> F8,F10,F11,F12: now produces output, did not produce output in
previous Asus device test

OK. But these keys already work.

No, they aren't :-( But at this point udev's scope ends anyway, this is
a kernel driver bug now.

Title:
  [Asus UX303LN] several hotkeys don't produce evdev event

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running Xubuntu on an Asus UX303LN laptop.

  The touchpad disable/enable hotkey (F9) does nothing.  This makes it
  very hard to use the machine since the touchpad is constantly
  capturing random "mouse movements", making it impossible to enter text
  in the right place.

  When I use the machine I have an external bluetooth mouse, and disable
  the touhpad in the settings menu, so I can type, but it would be much
  better to have the option to use the touchpad, and switch it on/off.

  Also, if the bluetooth connection is lost, then I can do nothing and
  have to reboot!

  I have no idea how to debug this but would be happy to help.

  Another hotkey that does not work is F2 "airplane mode". This one is
  of no importance to me, but I mention it for completeness.

  I am really hoping for a fix!

  I am a Ubuntu beta-tester from long ago, and helped on the 1st 64bit
  version!

  Let me know, please!,
  Cheers,
  Bob

  I have attached all the files specified on the hotkey bug reporting
  page. I put them in an archive since that seems to be the only option
  for attaching multiple files?

  udevadm info --export-db > udev-db.txt
  dmesg > dmesg.log
  sudo lsinput > lsinput.log
