This is good... I've just pushed the commits containing this lot (with fixups
for button/zoom handling).

Interesting...

If you mean "look inside" or "fiddle around inside", probably, yes. You might
also be interested in testing 2.6.33-rc1 (but see bug 561569; there's a
change which breaks make-kpkg).

I've still to add 'alternative' handling for Fn-F3 (touchpad) and Fn-F7
(backlight off); with 2.6.33-rc1, do you ‒ or anybody else – see non-hotkey
events for these and, if so, what are they? (Would also help to know this for
the S.H.E. button.)
