Yes.  I've got a Q2E41 machine (running gnome) where it doesn't work,
and a Q2E45 machine where it does work (running lxde).  That's my
expectation.

I haven't heard anything from the nodm folks, so I'm starting to
suspect we're going to have to fix it ourselves..

After releasing 0.6, I installed olpc-kbdshim and the keys Just Work.
Oh well.  I've uploading a new olpc-kbdshim to debian, and I'll try to
get it a quick fix in for squeeze (it needs to
check /proc/device-tree/model rather than /ofw/model), and then I'll
start including olpc-kbdshim.
