Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.22
Severity: wishlist

Dell Latitudes have a specific XKB model ("latitude") which is useful
for detecting certain extra keys, such as the volume keys. However, this
is not autodetected by the xserver-xorg configuration script, so the
user has to enable that model manually.

Autodetecting a Latitude is not difficult, but rather hairy -- it's
basically a matter of

  dmidecode --string system-product-name | grep -q '^Latitude ' && LATITUDE=yes

If you want to feel extra paranoid, you can also check that "dmidecode
--string system-manufacturer" matches "Dell Inc.", but I can't guarantee
that all Latitudes will have that.

This is fixed by the switch to evdev (no need to set xkb model to get
the right keycodes).
