Introducing olpc-keybind

Want to have the handy custom keys om your XO actually control something in XFCE but think the HOWTO looks discouraging or less than entertaining. I've created an RPM that includes some simple scripts to let you control the screen brightness, screen orientation and volume of your XO with the buttons you expect should work. Please install the "noarch" rpm below to add the functionality listed above. Also provided the "src" rpm if youd lie to edit the spec file and change/improve the rpm.

Interested in adding this RPM to official Repos if welcome. Will also be making rpms to setup XFCE from scratch as default desktop, and configure wifi properly. Help feedback and suggestions welcome as always.

This does'nt work properly on

This does'nt work properly on build 656. During installation, there is an error 'scriplet failed'. I did run /home/olpc/olpc-keybind manually, coping the file /home/olpc/.xbindkeysrv to /root/, and start manually xbindkeys &. After that, only screen-rotation works. Brightness, Sound and everything else seems not to work. Check it again? But thank you for screen rotation anyway. A.
