It seems that the implementations for volume and brightness keys are handled
separately from the remainder of the keyboard in most laptops. I have
recently been installing Linux in various older laptops, some with gnome,
some with xfce, and have found the laptop special keys scripts in
/etc/acpi.
at the OS level the brightness and volume keys are just the standard
F9-F12 keys
if you look at the 'keyboard shortcuts' page on the wiki they are even
documented that way (or at least I think they were at one point)
it's Sugar that decides to monkey with the brightness and volume when

Hi Paul,

I don't think there's a way to stop the button from trying to perform a
rotate (though I might be wrong), however you can register to receive a
signal when

You can configure a static ip address using ifconfig from the command
line. You'll need to be root.
Unfortunately, the OLPC has Network Manager, which knows better.
[I *have* been able to use ifconfig to assign a _mesh_ address on a
F10 Joyride (which otherwise has mesh support broken).]
