This can be fixed quite easily if you know how: echo 2 > /sys/module/hid/parameters/pb_fnmode Only the two swapped keys remain. Setkeycodes didn't work, I think it's because the keycodes I'm trying to use are already registered to something else, so I just created a custom keymap which swapped the two keycodes, 41 and 86, and now everything works fine. Wandering through the gentoo forums I found out that aluminium keyboards aren't properly detected until 2.6.25rc2, the strange thing is I had the keyboard working before... I'll see when 2.6.25 is released. Corrado

Actually, I was planning to steal fbsplash and splashy and put them in community ;-) but didn't have much time recently to actually do this. :-( In addition I want to do a couple of small changes to initscripts that will not affect non-splashed systems at all, but will just provide more places to hook something via functions.d -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

This would make the scripts for fbsplash/splashy much easier to write. It makes no sense to start porting them to the functions.d system right now, right? If I can help you writing new scripts, when you will take fbsplash, let me know. dongiovanni

Yes, because some functionality will be impossible to implement without patching initscripts. > If I can help you writing new scripts, when you will take fbsplash, let me > know. Sure, I will contact you when everything will be ready to port fbsplash & splashy to functions.d and since I don't use them yet I will rely on you for testing. ;-) -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

Only some though. I took a look at it, and it's easy, but some stuff would be missed.
