In many cases, the keys are just "keyboard keys" and they should be handled through the keyboard driver. In other cases, they are all "ACPI" events. I would like those to be presented as keyboard keys; and then you can easily use GNOME something or other to bind an event to the key press. (It's not entirely clear to me why you can't bind one event to multiple keys) Casper
