I was indeed referring to recent models ("the layout never really changed "recently"") using the SNC device for the hotkeys. > All the S1/S2, speed/stamina and friends keys vary from model to model > and sometimes send the same event for different keys. So why are those keys are already fine in sony_100_events and never remapped by udev? I'm just talking about keys from SONYPI_EVENT_FNKEY_F1 to SONYPI_EVENT_FNKEY_F12 though. > lovely, does it make any difference if udev maps those keys and the > driver instead just sends FN_F* making old and new models send the same > keycodes and scancodes? Models equipped with the SNC device are already using the same scancodes, there is no need to translate them twice. > you're a bit too optimistic here but well... Maybe, but I don't think that Sony wants to deal with model specific layouts under Windows as well (in fact it seems to me that is shipping the same base software on every model).
