I already see a "/usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev" file which describes 
itself as a "translation from evdev scancodes to something resembling 
xfree86 keycodes."  From all I can see it's a mapping from 
seemingly-arbitrary <KEY> names to equally arbitrary numeric values 
between 8 and 255.

If this is what I am to change, I have no idea what key names or values 
I ought to use.  Also, there are well over 200 mappings in this file 
already; presumably those were not made up at random, but I have no idea 
where these mappings came from or what other systems will stop working 
correctly if I change or replace them.  Am I creating and proposing a 
replacement for this file or a different evdev mapping file which X.org 
should include as an alternative?

Sorry for so many questions.  I'd like to help make this work if I can, 
but I'm not sure how.  :-(
