Thats what I thought. I don't have a memory stick handy (I think I could
borrow one if thats important).

I pressed all the buttons I found, the GR100K only has a Jogdial plus an
extra back button (the jogdial works great, the button doesn't do anything
in Linux yet). Nothing in the syslog, even when I used the Fn+functions keys
(volume, brightness, LCD, TV). Closing the lid didn't generate an event
either. I got this laptop used, so I don't know if there are any other
special keys, but I don't think so.
