Upgrade to XFree86 4.1.0 or higher.
Anyone that uses multimedia keys without X will see changes in how the kernel handles those keys. People who customize keymaps or keycodes in 2.4 may need to make some changes to those scripts in 2.5
A new keyboard package was released, but I haven't tested it yet to make sure everything works. I hacked up loadkeys and setkeycodes on my own to get it to work, and I just haven't upgraded to the new package yet.
