The "Mail" keycode doesn't have to be set but I did to be consistent with other keyboards ("Mail" = 236). The "Mail" keycode doesn't have to be set, but the original keycode (128/90) is very unusual so I changed it to the normal value (236/155).

I set the (*) keycodes with the following command at boot time: {{{ setkeycodes 74 148 75 150 78 155 e074 183 e075 184 }}} This automatically generates the X11 and kernel keycodes shown in the table. The "Mail" keycode doesn't have to be set, but the original keycode (128/90) is very unusual so I changed it to the normal value (236/155).

The X50 section of /etc/lineakkb.def looks as follows:

[SX50]
  # set the keycodes with the following command: 
  # setkeycodes 74 148 75 150 78 155 e074 183 e075 184
  brandname = "Samsung"
  modelname = "Samsung X50"
  [KEYS]
    Internet    = 178
    # use Mail = 128 if you don't use setkeycodes for this key
    Mail        = 236
    UserDefined1 = 159
    Mute        = 160
    VolumeDown  = 174
    VolumeUp    = 176
    UserDefined2 = 182
    UserDefined3 = 183
  [END KEYS]
[END SX50]

Here is my $HOME/.lineak/lineakd.conf (keys section):

Internet =  "firefox"
Mail = "mozilla-thunderbird"
Mute = "KMIX_MUTE"
UserDefined1 = "konsole"
[etiquette mode on] UserDefined2 = /bin/true
[etiquette mode off] UserDefined3 = /bin/true
VolumeDown = "KMIX_VOLDOWN"
VolumeUp = "KMIX_VOLUP"

The touchpad

(Etch) The synaptic touchpad was auto-detected but not configured as primary mouse. The driver is in th xfree86-driver-synaptics package. I took some tim eto figure out the ideal driver parameters for my laptop and my fingers with the "synclient" tool. Here is the relevant part from xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "CorePointer"

        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"

        # Values I found handy on the X50

        Option  "LeftEdge"      "1500"   # I prefer narrow edges

        Option  "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed"  "1000"
        Option  "EdgeMotionUseAlways" "1" # use it for pointer movement

        Option  "PalmDetect" "1"          # Z = 100-120 is typical for palm
        Option  "PalmMinWidth" "10"
        Option  "PalmMinZ"     "100"

        Option  "SHMConfig"     "on"
