So, I've got an colorcase(tm) keyboard that has got 108 keys. Three additional keys that are Power, Sleep and Wake up. How should I configure these? Here's a picture of this board http://otto.hellfish.org/3b.jpg. Some configuration for the three keys above ScrollLock key would be nice.

u need 2 utilities:
xev and xmodmap. start xev and see which keycodes your 3 extra keys send to your system. then use xmodmap (create a ~/.Xmodmap file) to assign functions to them.
read these for more info man xev man xmodmap man X
good luck :)
