I am working on KubuntuLaptopButtons spec for Edgy and would like to get more reports on keycodes from laptop users.

Please add your notebook (with your nick) to this table - if you have a key which is not listed, please add new row.

Note: you can get keycode by running xev program from command line (termina/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
