I'm not sure if I'm correct here, but a little bell in the back of my
mind is saying that you have to configure the button daemon to map
buttons to their functions.  I think I saw this as something I needed to
do for my laptop (Debian) but I never did get around to it.  Can't help
you any better than that, sorry.

Life Sucks. Cynical, misanthropic male, 34, looking for soul mate but
certain not to find her. Drop me a note. I'll call you, we'll talk and
I'll ask you out to dinner where I'll probably spend more than I can
afford in a feeble attempt to impress you. Then we'll realize we have
absolutely nothing in common and we'll go our separate ways, more
embittered and depressed than before (if such a thing is possible).
