The backlight and suspend keys working is good (I guess this gets through ACPI,
and is captured by hal and passed onto gnome-power-manager). Do the backlight
keys show a popup when in GNOME?

The other keys not working is a bit of a problem, but they're not expected to
work out-of-the-box for the most part.

I checked out the eeepc-laptop driver in the linux-next git tree, and it doesn't
pass those extra keys through the input layer (so the keys aren't visible in
user-space).

Could you check whether you see any error messages in dmesg when using the keys,
or whether the keys work using "xev" while running X?
