    I installed Xandros Linux 3.0 on LT20 tablet.
    If anyone is interested, here is detailed description of my
    setup:
    http://spartan.brocku.ca/~hfuks/tablet/lt20.html

    Everything works fine, with the exception of special buttons around the screen. Only one of them works right now (Enter). Remaining buttons are not producing any output in xev, so I suspect they will require a special driver. Windows Device Manager lists LG Tablet Buttons on I/O port 360-361 with interrupt ISA 15, but at the moment I have no idea how to access these from Linux.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    if you tail your kernel or everything log, I think it should spew out messages about "unrecognized event" when you hit those buttons.. once you find the codes for them, you can map them using xmodmap

    I forget the syntax, but you should be able to dig it up ;]
