The microphone mute key yields Linux key input event KEY_MICMUTE which
has the value 248.  Add 8 to get the X KeyCode number, you get 256.
This is greater than the maximum KeyCode that X handles, 255.

See: http://www.x.org/wiki/XI2

The problem is similar to the problem with the Zoom hotkey combination
on the X220, Fn-Space.  The key combination yields KEY_ZOOM, value 372.
The corresponding X KeyCode, 380, is also above 255.

A workaround is to remap the keycodes to ones that X can handle.

(This page doesn't describe a way to control the LED on the Microphone
Mute key.)
