Steve, Crispin,

From what you both say and from my (very flaky) understanding of the problem, what needs to be done is:

1. add support for hardware based notifications in OSD
1.1 implement such notifications for LCD brightness
2. add support for hardware based audio controls (volume up, down, mute) in hal/gnome-settings-daemon, in collaboration with Henrique
3. add support for other hardware events if possible (e.g. the bluetooth/wifi radio switch or the internal/external display switch)

At first sight, #1 looks like it's an all Ubuntu affair while #2 looks more complicated than that. So what is the next step to resolve this? Should we file individual, more detailed bugs for each of the different areas of work? And what can we, as users who have little understanding of the internals and varied technical skills, do to help?
