Acer Aspire 5520G hotkeys

Hi!
The e-mail, internet, ArcadeDeluxe and the Empowering Technology buttons do not work under Kubuntu 9.10.
What should I install to get them working?

You can set the program you wish to start under: System Settings > Input Actions

Select 'KMenuEdit', click the 'Edit' box on the bottom left, then New > Global Shortcut > K-Menu Entry

1. Give the new action a title (Amarok, Kmail, Konqueror (Firefox))
2. Select the 'Trigger' tab and click the box labeled 'None' then press the hotkey you want to use for this action.
3. Select the 'Action' tab, click the box labeled 'Select Application', select the application from the menu and click 'OK'.
4. Select 'Apply' on the bottom right.
5. Test your new hotkey.

I just did this today with my logitech keyboard. It works great.

I could set up the hotkeys for applications, my problem is, that Kubuntu doesn't do anything if I press one of the buttons listed in my first post, while it's waiting for a keypress. All the other keys/combinations work.

I am guessing the Empowering Technologies button does not work. Mine doesn't work on my Aspire either. I don't use it for anything anyway.
