Keyboard laptop configuration (dell latitude E54530)

Hello
I've got a dell latitude E54530
Works fine under FreeBSD 12
Only the Fn keys for brightness seems to have problem : not recognized. Theses keys don't seem work (the other Fn keys work fine)

I want to put this command xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness XXX on the Fn + key to up/down brightness

But xev | grep keycode command give me nothing for these 2 keys (works for the other)

Do you have any idea ?
 
Hi
I use xbindkeys instead of xev and I 'got the same problem.
The key Fn works fine with the association Sound keys (next,previous, play, pause, Print Screen, Pause...) but not with brightness up and down : no return of the key sequence...
So I use for this time the Alt key instead the Fn key and in association with the intel_backlight,it works fine....

I wonder how to do to recognized the Fn touch in association to the brightness up and down... Under Linux, that works well... Don't know why...

Those specific buttons are typically wired in through ACPI, they are not considered keys and don't produce keycodes. The sound buttons have reasonably standardized multimedia keycodes (XF86Audio*).

Examples of the specific ACPI keys are acpi_asus(4), acpi_toshiba(4) and acpi_ibm(4).
 
my brightness up/down-touches(without Fn) magically begin to work by starting X11 and specially loading video-drivers.
 
I've had the same problem with FreeBSD 11.x/12.x on my Thinkpad T430 and Dell E6430, but since both of them are using intel graphics (HD4000) I've installed graphics/intel-backlight and now I can set what brightness I want. After that I binded two keys with xbindkeys on my WM and when I press Fn+Up the brightness increases and Fn+Down arrow decreases it.
 
yes it is this alternative solution that I also used. The intel-xbaclight and xbindkeys solution is functional
Nevertheless I found a mapping file for a dell keyboard but it is a file to compile for NetBSD and I can not adapt to freeBSD ...
The source : http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi...-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&only_with_tag=MAIN
This file seems to work directly from ACPI and looks like an acpi- style module.
