STEP-BY-STEP guide

1. I chose to use Hotkeys app so:
Code:
emerge hotkeys

2. In console execute these commands as root:
Code:
# setkeycodes e01e 221
# setkeycodes e008 222
# setkeycodes e00a 223
# setkeycodes e031 225

3. Add these commands at the very end of /etc/init.d/bootmisc so they will be executed on boot
Code:
nano -w /etc/init.d/bootmisc

(I think that this file is too long to paste it here)
4. Edit your /etc/hotkeys.conf
Code:
nano -w /etc/hotkeys.conf

This file should look like:
Code:
Kbd=hpze4900

WebBrowser=firefox
Email=evolution
Shell=gnome-terminal
ScreenSaver=xscreensaver-command -activate
Help=yelp

5. Create/edit your /usr/share/hotkeys/hpze4900.def
Code:
nano -w /usr/share/hotkeys/hpze4900.def

It looks like
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<definition>
  <CONFIG model="HP Pavillion ze4900">
    <VolUp        keycode="176" adj="2"/>
    <VolDown      keycode="174" adj="2"/>
    <Mute         keycode="160"/>
    <WebBrowser   keycode="178"/>
    <Email        keycode="197"/>
    <Help         keycode="212"/>
    <ScreenSaver  keycode="202"/>
    <Shell        keycode="148"/>
  </CONFIG>

    <email>izmaelis@gmail.com</email>
   </contributor>
</definition>

at my place.
6. And in the end do:
Code:
# hotkeys -t hpze4900

add this line to gnome-session-properties window tab named "startup programs". I'm not familiar with other desktop environments so feel free to poke arround.

Although this short guide is oriented to a type of lappy that I have you can play around and use these ideas...
