Hi all,
  On quite a few keyboards these days there are extra keys.
  One of which is the power button.  How would I get the power
  button working?
  
  I read the Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO  but as far as I could
  follow, the only examples were for mapping new keys to existing
  functions (next terminal, etc)
  
  Anyway, how about adding support for the power button?
  
  I was thinking that one way of doing it would be to write a kde/gnome
  app that popped up when you first pressed it and asks you to confirm
  that it is indeed the power button, and whether to shutdown/reboot/custom.
  
  On my huge sample of er 3 different keyboards, the power button generates
  the same scancode (e0 5e or something - can't remember heh)
  
  Anyway, thoughts please?
