My current keymap (reported by xmodmap -pke)

udev has the wrong keymap for the keyboard of the Dell Studio XPS 1340 (2009
model). The key combination Fn + Right arrow is hard-wired by the system to
switch the brightness of the keyboard backlight, however udev thinks it's
"Touchpad Off" and sends the "XF86TouchpadOff" event. This makes it impossible
to change the keyboard backlight brightness without stopping the KDE Touchpad
Enabler service. 

FWIW, I was referred here from Kernel Bug 55521 (I originally thought this was
a kernel issue). 

I'm using OpenSUSE 12.3 x64 with KDE 4.10.1, if that matters. 

I've attached my system keymap and a xev log that has the offending key
combination.
