How do you Define Extra Keys for X?
baadpuppy asks:
"Ok, so I bought this nifty (and cheap)
keyboard that has 'Internet multi-media'
features: silly little buttons that do things
like BACK in your browser, and scrolling,
and controlling your CD and volume,
etc. It was only 19.95 and had a $10.00
rebate, so I figured 'what the heck,
it's only 10 bux wasted if I can't use them'.
I read keyboard howto, and got the keys
recognized by the Linux kernel, and
everything is groovy for console apps.
However, I spend 99.99999% of my time in X,
not at the console, so I want to make these
keys work in X. I have the list of scan
codes (the kernel was kind enough to list
them when it didn't recognize them). What
has to be done to make X understand them?

"I looked at the "XKB" extensions, and if there's any good documentation there, it's well hidden. I've downloaded the source code for the X server, and spent more than 5 hours perusing that code trying to figure out exactly where I might go about adding these keys!"
