I can confirm that this issue also happens in windows (The user of the
function key button is not required to access the functions! But the FN
key is required to use the F1-F12), therefore it's not a Linux Kernel
bug, it's actually the laptop/BIOS mapping is incorrect. Therefore this
is not an issue for ubuntu / kernel to resolve. Thanks again.

Title:
  [[HP Pavilion dv6-4008tx Entertainment Notebook PC] Function Keys do
  not work - brightness, sound, wireless

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Just upgraded to saucy 13.10 as this bug exists in raring too. The fn
  keys do not work.

  Brightness works in the brightness panel with the slider.

  Have tested audio keys in rythmbox and no result.

  F1 ? (question mark symbol on key) 0x3a 0xba
  F2 Brightness Down 0x3b 0xbb
  F3 Brightness Up 0x3c 0xbc
  F4 | Square |  (two lines on the outside of a square) perhaps a reference to a monitor    0x3d 0xbd
  F5 |<< (rewind?)   0x3e 0xbe
  F6 >|| (Play or pause) 0x3f 0xbf
  F7 Stop  0x40 0xc0
  F8 >>| (fast forward)  0x41 0xc1
  F9 Volume down 0x42 0xc2
  F10 volume up  0x43 0xc3

  Numbering changes for F11 F12
  F11 Mute 0x57 0xd7
  F12 Wireless on/off 0x58 0xd8
