[gentoo-user] Keys not getting detected

[anand kumar]

Hi,
    I recently changed to Gentoo. I have a keyboard from hp with all
the new multimedia keys on it. I tried configuring them but showkey
doesnt recognise some of the keys. Is there any way to resolve this.
Previously these keys were getting recognized and i was using FC. Is
there a link with the distrib im using or anything like that
