I'm completely stumped and hope someone here can help.

My X220-tablet has three buttons on the bezel.  Left to right they are:
**  a white dot ..... power toggle (Windows)
**  a circle with arrow ..... one-button CTRL-ALT-DELETE (Windows-7)
**  two rectangles ..... toggle laptop<-->tablet screen orientation 
(Windows-7)

Under Linux Mint, the orientation toggle does nothing. Instead, the 
circle-arrow causes the orientation to shift.

When I've tried to view the keys and scan codes and such, I cannot get 
any response from the two-rectangle button, but it works correctly under 
Windows-7.

Are there tools that will let me see events, keys, buttons, etc over in 
windows land?
That would let me compare codes with what I see in Linux.

Someone mentioned (without details) that I might need to enable things 
by setting bits in the "event mask".  I'm dashed if I can find any 
information about what might be involved to do that.

Thanks in advance,
~~~ 0;-Dan
