After some more tests, the display button works well, and emits
XF86Display event which is OK (except that if you do not bind this key
to some desktop events, it is used a volume up).

So, Mattew's patch is working well on a eeepc 701, given that you tweak a little bit you modules:
- load pciehp with pciehp_force=1
- load rfkill_input (although that one only works if you switch to the console)

Seems this patch has been submitted upstream:

Bug description:
The Asus EeePC is a popular subnotebook computer.

With a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) the wireless (fn+f2) and volume hotkeys (fn+f7/f8/f9) do not function.

Expected function:
fn+f2: Toggle wireless
fn+f7: Mute/Unmute
fn+f8: Volume up
fn+f9: Volume down

Workarounds are documented here:
Wireless Hotkey: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly#wifi_hotkeys
Volume Hotkeys: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly#hotkeys
Although I have not had much success at getting these working myself.

It would be great if these would work out-of-the-box with 8.04.1 or Intrepid.
