some Sun keyboards have keys to control audio volume and brightness - we could have them send PMF events instead and teach audio drivers to listen for them so volume control via keyboard would work out of the box without any additional voodoo.Any objections?Depends. How hard would it (putatively) be to change them back, back to being usable as general-purpose keys, coëval with the rest of the keyboard's keys? "Hack the kernel source"? "Diddle the config, reconfig the kernel"? "wsconsctl ..."? "sysctl ..."?
Providing a sysctl knob would be trivial - I did something like that with mouse button emulation on ADB keyboards.
