Is it possible that your buttons are the same as those "internet keyboard" buttons which many desktop users are having to put up with now? (eek, winkeyboards.) If so: 1) I found a reference on sourceforge to something calling itself akdaemon, apparently a userland daemon to invoke "the fun keys" by accessing a dev node offered by the complementary kernel patch. However the homepage for the mentioned patch is not live :( with any luck maybe it is in 2.4x anyway? and all you should need is the userland daemon. Geez. Good thing it's source code - these docs don't say anything useful like whether /dev/action_keys is character (you'd think) or block, what major and minor. The example keyboard he mentions is a "Logitech Freedom Pro" - obviously not a laptop. 2) Freshmeat mentions a daemon called HotKeys which is supposed to listen for those multimedia keys. Best of all its author cooked up a debian package :> http://ypwong.org/hotkeys/hotkeys_0.5.1_i386.deb Best I could do on short notice, let us know if it helps! * Heather Stern * star@ many places...
