Thanks. Someone else also sent me similar advice, but as I haven't
rebooted yet I haven't had a chance to test it out. However, the person
who emailed me had also installed the i8kutils package from
freshrpms.net whereas I haven't yet as
$ locate i8k
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435/kernel/drivers/char/i8k.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435/build/include/config/i8k
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435/build/include/config/i8k/module.h
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435/build/include/config/i8k
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435/build/include/linux/i8k.h
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427/kernel/drivers/char/i8k.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427/build/include/config/i8k
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427/build/include/config/i8k/module.h
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427/build/include/config/i8k
/lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427/build/include/linux/i8k.h
/usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.435/drivers/char/i8k.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.435/include/linux/i8k.h
so I'm not sure if I need the i8kutils package or whether that is now
included with the current kernel.

It is? I can't find it: neither of
ps aux | grep acme
or
rpm -qa | grep acme
turn anything up, and I can't find anything in the preferences menu for
configuring the extra keys on my keyboard. (This is in FC2.) I'd like to
know how you've managed to set acme up ...
Best, Darren
