Got myself a Lenovo keyboard ...
a "ThinkPlus Enhanced Performance USB Keyboard"
wow, it looked much better online than it feels now ... *sigh*
I want to use that keyboard with Gnome (2.26 right now).
I googled how to use the multimedia-keys already, seems as if I have to
face some serious key-logging and hacking around to get those working
(no, nothing usable on that funny CD).
Some of them work (volume, internet-keys to the left), only the 7 keys
on top miss. I don't actually NEED them, but as I PAID them .... you
know ... ;-)

Just before I start hacking myself, I want to ask you if maybe someone
has already gone through this and is willing to share ...?
Sorry if I sound lazy, actually I am already getting a bit tired of
hacking stuff like that everytime I get a new piece of hardware.
--> for reference:

The part in my xorg.conf (googled that one):

Thanks a lot for any help on this, Stefan
