[Bug 609234] Re: Multimedia and battery keys do not work on Dell Studio 1557

[Mark Smith]

Just wanted to paste the patch here, in case the mailing list
disappears.  I haven't been able to test the patch since I've switched
back to Ubuntu 10.04 for the time being, but I will be testing the
current liveCD on my Studio today.

Fixes pressing the eject key on Dell Studio 1555 does not work and 
produces message : 
dell-wmi: Unknown key 0 pressed
