Description Tobias Frilling 2012-01-22 19:13:03 UTC 
Since the upgrade from 175 to 178 udev does not load the correct keymap file on my Samsung netbook.
Keys like BrightnessUp/Down and a bunch of others do not work.

The correct keymap is samsung-other and it should be loaded from 95-keymap.rules, line 141:
ENV{DMI_VENDOR}=="[sS][aA][mM][sS][uU][nN][gG]*", RUN+="keymap $name samsung-other"

$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/{sys_vendor,product_name}
SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
N145P/N250P/N260P

Manual loading of the keymap (# /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event0 samsung-other) fixes the issue.

This bugzilla is not for udev, please send udev questions/problems to the linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org mailing list.
