Extra Keys / Keyboard LEDs

Some laptops offer extra buttons, e.g. - internet keys, or zone keys - . I have found two programms, which might help to get them to work (but I couldn't test it):

akdaemon apparently a userland daemon to invoke "the fun keys" by accessing a dev node offered by the complementary kernel patch or funkey programm .

The HotKeys package, which is supposed to listen for those multimedia keys. http://ypwong.org/hotkeys/

Some laptops offer extra LED, e.g. - mail - LEDs. I have found two programms, which might help to get them to work (but I couldn't test it): getmail, fujled. Both are available from the The Led Project. The setleds might also be helpful.

To get information about unknown keyboard or mouse events you may use showkey and mev (the last one is from the gpm package).
