3 special keys on Dell Inspiron 17R (5720)
I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 17R (5720). I wiped Windows 8 and installed Ubuntu 13.04. Everything is working well. Except I have 3 buttons on the upper right corner of the keyboard that light when pressed, but don't register. I tried showkey -a in a terminal window and they don't send a scancode or keycode. I believe they are special like the power button, multimedia keys and lid switch. Has any one found how to customize and/or use these three buttons? Is there a utility to customize the Dell WMI hotkeys? Thank you in advance.
