I was right about the kernel code for making the leds work, I have 
managed to get it working. It creates an object for each led in 
/sys/class/leds and each led contains a brightness object which can be 
manipulated to change turn the leds on and off... now I just have to 
work out how to automate that with udev. The same code also includes the 
objects for the onboard button, but I'll be buggered if I know where to 
start with that one yet. I can see it has been found and that the 
interrupts are being detected when it's pressed though :-)

I'll knock up a page with some information / downloadable files and put 
up for this, once I've moved this all forward a bit.

Thanks
Dave
