Mmm... Sounds like it'll "just work" for the Gnome/KDE crowd and
the rest of us will have to make it work ourselves.

I suppose we can live without hot keys in the console but it
would kind of suck if closing the lid had a different effect
depending on whether X is running.

Without going through steps 1-3, here are the keycodes and
keysyms on a 1001HA running eeepc-acpi-scripts 1.1.10 and kernel
2.6.38-2-686 :

Fn-F1  150  XF86Sleep              Suspends
Fn-F2  -    -                      No effect
Fn-F3  199  -                      No effect
Fn-F4  192  -                      No effect
Fn-F5  232  XF86MonBrightnessDown  Dims the backlight
Fn-F6  233  XF86MonBrightnessUp    Brightens the backlight
Fn-F7  253  -                      No effect
Fn-F8  235  XF86Display            No effect (then again, no monitor plugged)
Fn-F9  156  XF86Launch1            No effect
Fn-F10 121  XF86AudioMute          Toggle audio
Fn-F11 122  XF86AudioLowerVolume   Volume--
Fn-F12 123  XF86AudioRaiseVolume   Volume++
Fn-spc 193  -                      No apparent effect

Does that help at all ?
