Hi there.

I've got a Samsung NP-RF711-S07UK laptop - it's so new that Samsungs own 
website doesn't list it.

Here's a link with product specs:
http://www.elaraonline.co.uk/productdetail.aspx?productcode=ECE2391461

Anyway, it's got back-light+hot-keys+fan control issues.
It turns out that even the latest kernel linux-3.5-rc4 doesn't have a 
DMI table entry for it in drivers/platform/x86/samsung-laptop.c.

# dmidecode -s system-product-name
RF511/RF411/RF711

It would be great if any kernel developers could be present at the BSP - 
it's a great laptop and sorting out support for it would be a sweet bug 
to fix.
