Alienware 51m / keyboard special keys under linux
make special keys accessable under Ubuntu Linux (tested on Version 19.10)
- copy file
cp alienware_51m_keyboard.hwdb /etc/udev/hwdb.d/
- rewrite hwdb
systemd-hwdb update
- reload hwdb
udevadm trigger
now the 19 keys can be used for hotkey-settings in ubuntu
- X - Cycle Group (blue->red->yellow)
- Blue 1-5
- Red 1-5
- Yellow 1-5
- A-D
the approach was adopted from Linux keymapping with udev hwdb
