Fn-key with Samsung notebooks

I have Samsung r460. Fn-keys dosn't work correctly.. ("device does not produce key-release events") I read that its kernel bug, but i found solution for me. I created small utility - fnkeys. Fnkeys read input device /dev/input/eventN and filter events. Fnkeys allow you bind fn-keys to run some commands.

Sample config ~/.fnkeysrc:

[options]
device=/dev/input/event1

[keys]
#brightness up
136=nvclock -S +10
#brightness down
137=nvclock -S -10

Please test my solution on some models of samsung notebooks
