And on a related note, whatever happened to Acme in FC2? Even without
i8k I used to be able to get some of the keys on i8200 working with just
Acme ...

Yep.. I managed to get it up and running. For Me, it's a D600, you need to 
force load it. 

Edit the /etc/init.d/i8kbuttons startup script and put in "modprobe i8k
force=1"

Then you should all be set.

ACME is now default in Gnome2.6 already. I8k is useful for me cause I get
gkrellm stuffs and some more..

HTH
