I have tracked this down to some DIKI_UNKNOWN entries in
basic_keycodes, around line 249 of linux_input.c.
In include/linux/input.h I find:
#define KEY_F13 183
#define KEY_F14 184
#define KEY_F15 185
#define KEY_F16 186
#define KEY_F17 187
#define KEY_F18 188
#define KEY_F19 189
#define KEY_F20 190
#define KEY_F21 191
#define KEY_F22 192
#define KEY_F23 193
#define KEY_F24 194
My mouse returns codes 183-185. The corresponding entries in
basic_keycodes are all 'unknown'.
Is there any reason why these are 'unknown', or can they be fixed?
A patch follows.
Regards, Phil.
