[Bug 651756] [NEW] fn keys act reversed on HP Mini 210

[Nick B.]

Public bug reported:

All of the fn keys are acting in reverse fashion on the HP Mini 210. For
example, to press F10 you would press fn+VolumeUp. In Maverick this
increases the volume. Pressing only the VolumeUp key sends F10. This is
the exact opposite of how it should work. This worked as expected in
Lucid (2.6.32-25). I've checked the keyboard shortcuts and they are set
up the same as they were on Lucid.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Try to increase the volume by pressing the VolumeUp key
2. Try to press F10 by pressing fn+VolumeUp

What happens:
1. Nothing because F10 is sent instead of VolumeUp
2. The volume is increased.

What should happen:
1. The volume should be increased.
2. F10 should be pressed.

Substitute any of the special fn keys in the steps above, they're all
reversed.
