Title:
  Fn keys don't work on Samsung X65

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udev

  I have a Samsung X65 laptop running Karmic, everything seems to work
  OK except for a few of the special blue Fn keys, specifically the
  battery status, screen switch, and the Samsung special "Magic Doctor"
  and speed control keys. Running xev, the keys don't even report events
  to the X server so this appears to be a hardware management issue. The
  same issues were present on my Samsung N110 netbook prior to kernel
  2.6.31 but are no resolved and with the additional nc10-scripts
  package from https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archive/ppa perform the
  expected functions. Any advice on diagnosing this problem would be
  appreciated.
