It seems that on this Asus laptop the Fn-Arrow keys are mapped to
audio events of some type. (Reading xev responses) Looking at my
keyboard visually and interpreting the symbols it appears that the
following key are what Asus intended for keyboard and monitor
brightness:

Fn-F3 - Keyboard brightness down
Fn-F4 - Keyboard brightness up
Fn-F5 - Monitor brightness down
Fn-F6 - Monitor brightness up

In acpi_listen all 4 keys produce events

In xev only the keyboard brightness keys do anything. xev remains mute
when trying the monitor keys.
