Bug filed, following conversation on IRC at:

I own a Dell Vostro V131. This model has 3 special hotkeys (quick
launch keys:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/_migrated/pics/v131tastatur_01.jpg
There are documented in page 1 of the manual:
ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-
products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_vostro_notebook/vostro-v131_Setup
%20Guide_en-us.pdf
as being:
1. "Windows mobility center" (this hotkey generates [Mod]+[x])
2. "Dell support center"
3. "Dell instant launch manager"
This was previous raised at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/platform-driver-x86@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg03124.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/platform-driver-x86@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg04444.html
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 in the '4444' email.
However, 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. The ACPI interrupt-
count appears to increment, as seen with:

watch -n 0,1 cat /proc/interrupts
