This is precisely the kind of data we need to pull in. Two valuable points:

  1. I missed the "inspiron" keymap altogether, probably since it didn't
     start with "Dell". The patch should be updated to search for Inspiron*
     in addition to Latitude*.
  2. There should be an exception for X1. Do you have the dmidecode data
     handy?

I also seem to have missed the "armada" and "presario" keyboards, but I don't
know what the dmidecode output for such Compaqs looke like these days.

Unfortunately, we need to gather this kind of data and make tables of
rules and exceptions -- there are no fast and easy solutions. :-/
