[opensuse-mobile] Asus R2Hv special keys

Hi,
I have just joined the list as I am trying to get my Asus UMPC running
with openSUSE. I have installed openSUSE 11 on an Asus R2Hv UMPC
without too many problems. This unit specs are:
- 900MHz CPU
- 1.3GB ram
- Toshiba 4200rpm 80GB hdd
- Intel 915GM graphics
- PANJIT touchscreen (evtouch working)
- Syntek camera
- ZD1211RW wireless
- bluetooth
- Authentec Fingerprint Reader

While I have a couple questions that I hope the list can help with, I'll
start with one of the more obvious.

I have gotten all the standard hardware working, with a little bit of
tweaking along the way. The fingerprint reader seems to work, but I
need to spend a lot more time configuring and playing to get it to work
seamlessly. I haven't tried the GPS as yet.

What I cannot get to work are the extra buttons on the case. The unit
does not have a keyboard, but does have a number of extra buttons on the
case. It has a button for login (sends <CTRL><ALT><DEL> but is
interpreted as <C><A><.>) that I can assign to start nautilus for
example, using Keyboard Shortcuts under GNOME. But I cannot assign it
to an application. I would like to get xvkbd to load when pushed, but
GNOME doesn't want to let me do this under gconf.

The other buttons don't register at all under xev. Under Windows these
buttons do the following tasks:

wireless - toggle between no wireless, wireless only, bluetooth only,
wireless and bluetooth

[:=] - application switcher. On Vista it just puts the start menu on
the screen.

[:::} - change hardware settings - set screen resolution, adjust powewr
scheme, display brightness, volume.

Any ideas on how I can investigate to get these keys working?

Thanks for any ideas.

Allen
