Can you believe I found this on CNN...

 I really have only one complaint about the Happy Hacking Keyboard. XFree86
 in Linux lets you increase or decrease your screen resolution by pressing
 Ctrl-Alt-Plus or Ctrl-Alt-Minus. But it only recognizes the Plus and
 Minus from the numeric keypad. The Happy Hacking Keyboard doesn't have a
 numeric keypad, and it doesn't provide an alternate key combination for
 the special Plus and Minus keys. So it is virtually impossible to use the
 Happy Hacking Keyboard to cycle through screen resolutions unless you
 change the XFree86 hotkeys to look for some other combination.
