Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hotkey-setup

Onetouch-keys for TV, Lock, ? and Mute appeared dead on my system when i 
installed Feisty Final. 
Volume, Email and Web worked perfectly. 

With dead i mean that they did not reveal their keycode to any of the
methods on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HotkeyResearch

I beleive this is a common problem for HP ze5/4xx and some compaq
presario-types.

When i use "./omke.pl -k 1" from this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hotkey-setup/+bug/20223
1. Mute-button (right side) works.
2. TV, Lock and ?-keys start sending their keycodes to syslog ( e070, e071, 
e073), but ONLY TO SYSLOG(gnome-system-log), not to showkey. I can then use 
setkeycodes and use them in gnome-keybinding-properties.

#My temporary solution, in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh add:
/path/to/omke.pl -k 1
setkeycodes e070 129
setkeycodes e071 130
setkeycodes e073 131
#Then add in gnome-keybinding-properties
# Might work for other, find keycode in gnome-system-log afer omke.pl
