Following up on this question, in Mepis 8.0, the 3 sound keys, the 2 screen brightness keys, the external display key, the suspend key, and wireless on/off key all work. There are a few other keys that don't appear to do anything, but I haven't looked them up yet to see what they are supposed to do - ignorance is bliss, I guess :-) Also, when I close the lid, it suspends. (Asus eee PC 1000HA with XASTIR from CVS). The sound problem I mentioned previously turned out to a silly thing. There's a slider in Kmix that is labeled "line out", but it actually affects speaker volume. I just had to turn that up to get sound back.
