Similar question have been asked before, but there were no answers. I cannot comment there, nor I have an answer, therefore I don't see other option but to ask again.
I have a USB laser presenter August LP205R that does not work on GNOME Ubuntu 15.04, but works OK on Windows with both PowerPoint & PDF presentations. Here are the outputs asked for in the previous link:

I even tried the getscancodes

I was wondering if somebody could help me figure out if & how should I update or make a new *-keyboard.hwdb
file from the data above, as mentioned here:
- Xubuntu - Logitech presenter works only partialy
- How do I change the keymap of a single device (Logitech presenter)?
Thanks in advance! :)
