Got myself a Lenovo keyboard ... |

|
| 3 |
a "ThinkPlus Enhanced Performance USB Keyboard" |

|

wow, it looked much better online than it feels now ... *sigh* |

I want to use that keyboard with Gnome (2.26 right now). |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I googled how to use the multimedia-keys already, seems as if I have to |
| 10 |
face some serious key-logging and hacking around to get those working |
| 11 |
(no, nothing usable on that funny CD). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Some of them work (volume, internet-keys to the left), only the 7 keys |
| 14 |
on top miss. I don't actually NEED them, but as I PAID them .... you |
| 15 |
know ... ;-) |

Just before I start hacking myself, I want to ask you if maybe someone |
| 20 |
has already gone through this and is willing to share ...? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Sorry if I sound lazy, actually I am already getting a bit tired of |
| 23 |
hacking stuff like that everytime I get a new piece of hardware. |
