Hi!

I don't know if this issue have been adressed before.. If that is the
case, sorry.

Anyhow.. Under Linux, X can talk to USB-keyboards and, well, all
HID-devices via /dev/input/*. All those new multimedia-keyboards with 5000
hotkeys sometimes sends scancodes that aren't bound to any keycodes in the
kernel. But all the keypresses are recorded by /dev/input/event*.. So if X
would use these ones that wouldn't be a problem..

Is there any work in progress on this one?

Else I have to hack the kernel to send the keycodes in another way so that
the PS/2-emulation works.. And that EVERYBODY who buys this keyboard would
have to do this is a bit.....uhm...not good. ;)

Just some thoughts.
