Heya,
We've just landed some HAL software to map "unknown scancodes" to proper
input keys, as listed in linux/input.h and I can't seem to find a good
match for the "ALS" key on my Dell computer.
The "Auto Light Sensing" key turns on/off the hardware monitor for
brightness and ajusts the screen brightness in consequence.
It's similar to KEY_KBDILLUMTOGGLE, but for screens. Is there a match I
couldn't find, or should I kindly ask for the key to be added?
Cheers

KEY_BRIGHTNESSTOGGLE is probably best IMO.
