Bug Description

The Dell Inspiron 630m has a number of hotkeys that aren't working properly:

Hibernate: keycode 0xa5, assignable in GNOME hotkey configuration.
Battery meter: keycode 0xcf, assignable in GNOME hotkey configuration.

The following need to have keycodes assigned, as they give 'unknown keycode' errors in syslog:

Wireless: e008, already switches the wireless radio on/off, but should probably bring up status or something.
Brightness Up: e006, BIOS handles brightness, but you don't get the nice GNOME GUI if you don't handle them...
Brightness Down: e005, as above.
CRT/LCD Switch: e00b, does nothing at the moment.
MediaDirect: e012, should probably open the default media player.

And that's it...
