Keng-Yü Lin:
OK, My patch and other (for q210, r518 and maybe many others) are tested by 
some forum.ubuntu.ru users and them work correct. I just want to see these 
patches in mainline kernel, because I don`t want to patch kernel every time I 
update it. So ,please, help to make them upstream. 
In old posts of bugzilla.kernel.org I saw same discussion. They said it is not 
good solution to make many patches for many models. The patches are same if not 
for all but for many models ( such as r60, q210, r518...). And this was a 
barrier to apply  all patches to kernel. So the code after all patches will be 
"dirty". But users just want Fn keys work. Now It is your choose.
"empty" fn keys are:
fn+f3 - "euro" - I made a simple python script for it (print euro sign in 
input-box on focus).
fn+f5 -  backlight off -  I made a simple bash script for it.( call in it "xset 
dpms force off")
fn+f7 - samsung tool (in win) - you can bind everything on it.
fn+f8 - powersave mode switch - I made a  bash script for it too. (just switch 
backlight to lowest level and cpu throttling to 50%)
I call them "empty" because linux is not provide functions for them and I make 
for them my own scripts. And switch wifi (fn+f9) will work if wifi driver 
updated to latest or kernel to 2.6.31. So fn+f9 works fine.
