!!! Keyboards under [XFree86]
If you have a keyboard with 'extra' buttons, you'll probably want to get them to work under X.

+You could try installing the "acme" package if you use [GNOME]2. This provides support for the multimedia keys found on some keyboards such as Hewlett-Packard's - even the volume knob worked!
!! MS Natural Pro
I have a MS Natural Pro keyboard, with the 'multimedia' blue buttons across the top. I borrowed the following xmodmap file from JamieCurtis, no idea where he got it from. Problem is, it only works if you use the keyboard via PS/2 - use USB and it has a different set of keycodes!
Both are listed below. To use these, place in a file called .Xmodmap in your home directory, and make sure your X login runs xmodmap over this file. This is normally done for you in most systems. Now you can use your window manager to grab these keys and run commands for you.
