RE: capturing key presses on N770
Finally, I found a flasher-3.0 executable which did the trick.

RE: capturing key presses on N770
Hi, I came across Powerlaunch which can capture and map a hard key to any user defined action. But, can Powerlaunch work while running in the background or does it need to run in the foreground? BTW, I was not able to find a .deb package for powerlaunch - Any links from where this can be downloaded? Frank, thanks for your input.
