Inspiron E1505/6400 MediaDirect Buttons

I am running PClinuxOS on an E1505 Machine, I am trying to get the MediaDirect buttons (volume up, volume down, play,stop etc.) To control the Appliations. Do I needs some drivers or is it a configuration issue. I'm pretty new to Linux so be kind.

Thanks

Scotty

I am using lineakd for my media buttons and it seems to work just fine.

I even wrote a howto for it here: http://www.gidnetwork.com/b-106.html.
