This is what I want to do. I want to execute non-dbus apps and shell scripts with hardware keys. However, I can't figure out from your example config files how you actually do this. Can you expand upon the "key_up = exec osso-xterm" example you gave above?

Let's say I want to execute a script, "/usr/bin/script1" by hitting the middle button on the d-pad ("key_press_select"?), and I want to execute another script, "/sbin/script2 -g param1 -k param2 param3" when I hit the fullscreen button ("key_press_fullscreen"?). How would I do this? Which config file would I modify? Is there a way to put these commands into a separate .conf file?

Thanks in advance...
