The point #2 makes me suspect the keys are not being released.

If you use the github rules I liked to, once you press F9/ F10 you can't type anymore anywhere.

If you comment and reload all the default keymap rules, everything still works (why?).

PS: While experimenting, I just noticed 2 interesting things: I'm sort of giving up on this for now but if anyone gets it right, let me know! Sudo /lib/udev/keymap input/event3 /lib/udev/keymaps/samsung-other Remember to call the following commands afterwards: sudo udevadm control -reload-rules You can use showkey to get the decimal code representation for the combination pressed. I also managed to get the correct keymap codes for this exact model by doing /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event3 and gathering the output when I pressed a FN + Fx key combination: 0xCE prog1 # F1ĠxB3 prog3 # F11, "silent" isn't recognized

F11 (Fan / Toggle CPU Speed) - Doesn't Work.

F10 (+ Keyboard Backlight) - Doesn't Work.

F9 (- Keyboard Backlight) - Doesn't Work.

I just felt like that was something that may help others more knowledgeable to find a solution. Unfortunately, I messed up the install process (I wasn't running Ubuntu in UEFI mode and I had swap) and I decided to reinstall, since then I was unable to replicate the working keyboard backlight. I bought the exact same model (900X4C) a couple of days ago and I've successfully seen the F9/F10 keys work, and I didn't even had to install the Voria / samsung-tools package either - I just fiddled around with the /lib/udev/keymaps/samsung-other file and the corresponding force-release file.
