What exactly is LinEAK?

LinEAK is a utility designed to enable the use and configuration of those special
keys on Internet, Easy Access and Multimedia keyboards in Linux.
It consists of three programs:
lineakd: this is the daemon that listens for incoming key and mouse events.
lineakconfig: this is the GTK+ GUI, which provides easier configuration
Klineakconfig: this is the KDE GUI which allows you to define keyboards, and configuration mappings for easier configuration. If your keyboard is not directly supported by lineakd, klineakconfig provides an easy to use graphic interface to both getting your keyboard working, and submitting your keyboard for inclusion into lineakd.
