How to get keycode

You can get keycode by running xev program from command line (terminal/Konsole) and then pressing the special laptop keys and searching for keycode, for example output: 

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x76, subw 0x0, time 1400690129, (70,50), root:(74,102),
    state 0x0, keycode 223 (keysym 0x1008ff10, XF86Standby), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,
    root 0x76, subw 0x0, time 1400690129, (70,50), root:(74,102),
    state 0x0, keycode 223 (keysym 0x1008ff10, XF86Standby), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:

An easier way to do this is to run: 

xev | grep keycode

How to get HAL events

You can get HAL events by running lshal -m program from command line (terminal/Konsole) and the pressing special laptop keys which will generate output like this: {{{Start monitoring devicelist:

platform_i8042_i8042_Kbd_Port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = sleep platform_i8042_i8042_Kbd_Port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = battery platform_i8042_i8042_Kbd_Port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = help platform_i8042_i8042_Kbd_Port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = presentation platform_i8042_i8042_Kbd_Port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = mute platform_i8042_i8042_Kbd_Port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = volumedown platform_i8042_i8042_Kbd_Port_logicaldev_input condition ButtonPressed = volumeup }}}
