You should have a directry /proc/acpi/asus or similar. The button events 
are reported to /proc/acpi/event. This file is observed by the acpid. 
SuSE parses the events to acpi_proxy.

If you stop the acpid and cat /proc/acpi/event you should see the output 
when pressing the ASUS keys. I do not know how to implement actions for 
those events in /etc/sysconfig/powermanagement (the configuration file 
for acpi_proxy). You could also, since the keys are not really 
powermanagemen related, create events in /etc/acpi/events (the 
configuration file for acpid). I do not know how to do that either.

If any bodey knows how to do that I am willing to learn that.
