About the arcade, euro and dollar keys: You have to edit the file /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/30-keymap-acer.fdi to get them working. I must admit I mapped euro and dollar to page up and down as it makes more sense for me but there should be a way to get euro and dollar instead when needed. Here is what I have added to and changed in the above file:
<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e012:f24</append> <!-- Media key --> <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e033:pageup</append> <!-- Euro symbol --> <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">e034:pagedown</append> <!-- Dollar symbol --> This way I can use the arcade key to start Rhythmbox and use the e-Key for something different... About the media keys: I did not map them to a function or command using the keyboard settings but instead created a file ~/.xbindkeysrc containing: "rhythmbox-client --play-pause" b:17 "rhythmbox-client --pause" b:18 "rhythmbox-client --previous" b:19 "rhythmbox-client --next" b:20 Then I added a new entry in Gnome sessions which just contains the command 'xbindkeys' to get the file loaded on start up. Please take a look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=517156 there is also an example for Amarok at point 15.
