I have tried both things, but the radio is always turned off; when I press the button that should turn it on I get this in syslog: Aug 21 12:26:14 aquila kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd6 on isa0060/serio0). Aug 21 12:26:14 aquila kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e056 <keycode>' to make it known. Aug 21 12:26:15 aquila kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd6 on isa0060/serio0). Aug 21 12:26:15 aquila kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e056 <keycode>' to make it known. So the kernel doesn't recognize the button. Bye.
