Question Microsoft KeyBoard Top Function Buttons...

k, I have a microsoft keyboard with the little blue keys that say Mail and can change the volume and such, I would like to use those. But, I cant without the proper drivers, I have the INTELLITYPE cd, which includes the drivers. But its made by M$ so I doubt anything for linux will be included. what to do?

For redhat 9 , find and install "acme". Get it from hadess.net - this will add multimedia keys support. In future it will be integrated with gnome.

I was about to say that it was MICROSOFT for crying out loud! Did you really expect it to work outside of Windows? Also, I wonder if they'll start doing it with KDE as well.
