Title:
  hewlett-packard keymap for Presario CQ60

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  whilst fixing my touchpad  disable key on my own craptop, i discovered
  gnome-settings-daemon doesn't even bind separate enable/disable key
  events, just toggle. so the following are at best broke:

  ohsix at krang:/lib/udev/keymaps$ grep 0xD[8-9] hewlett-packard*
  hewlett-packard-2510p_2530p:0xD8 f23 # touchpad off
  hewlett-packard-2510p_2530p:0xD9 f22 # touchpad on
  hewlett-packard-pavilion:0xD8 f23 # touchpad off
  hewlett-packard-pavilion:0xD9 f22 # touchpad on
  hewlett-packard-tx2:0xD8 f23 # Toggle touchpad button on tx2 (OFF)
  hewlett-packard-tx2:0xD9 f22 # Toggle touchpad button on tx2 (ON)

  what follows is background on what i did to fix up a keymap for mine

  i was getting events from keymap -i that looked like this
  enabled -> disabled
  got scan code event 0xD8 without a key code event
  got scan code event 0xD8 without a key code event

  disabled -> enabled
  scan code: 0xD9   key code: help

  so i mapped them to on/off as above, didn't work; checked
  /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings saw that it only bound toggle,
  set them both to f21 (toggle), it then worked.

  the touchpad disable key has worked in the past, what i suspect
  happened is that xorg at one time translated on/off events to toggle
  events, or that g-s-d at one time caught both or all 3

  afair since last looked into, there are now TOUCHPAD_* key codes in
  input.h, i did not try them.

  as an aside, why aren't the keymaps being submitted upstream as
  suggested the user do in /usr/share/doc/udev/README.keymap.txt.gz?
  i've seen the same keymaps for quite a few releases
