Hi! Just a "works for me", at least partially. I have a Core 2 Duo  
Macbook Pro (the one released Oct 2006). Worth noting is that I'm  
running FreeBSD/amd64 through VMWare Fusion.
In any case, it seems to execute the commands multiple times unless  
you press and release the buttons *really* fast. Is this a bug, or by  
design? In any case, it means that you'll have to take care of that  
yourself before it's actually usable.

Regards,
Thomas
