Support for these keys in X is obtained with the "inspiron" keyboard model (at least on Inspirons, but Latitudes should work just the same). However, this won't suffice with kernel 2.6 (it does work with kernel 2.4), due to the new input model which doesn't by default map some scancodes to anything useful. I solved this by creating a fix_keys file in my /etc/init.d directory, with the lines setkeycodes e001 171 setkeycodes e002 172 setkeycodes e003 187 setkeycodes e004 189 and symlinking it from /etc/rcS.d (I'm running a standard Debian, not Kubuntu.) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
