    Is there a way to change the MediaDirect button found on the left side of the power button on the E1705? Currently it is set to open my media center. Is there a way i can change it so it will run other programs?- like another hotkey?

    I use a program called xbindkeys to remap all my media buttons on my Inspiron 6400. I have it set now to open up Amarok when I hit the Media Direct button.
