Any ideas about that? $ grep MESSENGER /usr/include/linux/input.h #define KEY_MESSENGER 0x1ae /* AL Instant Messaging */ The keycode is larger than 255, which X.org currently cannot handle. So you cannot actually use this key right now, I'm afraid. (Well, other applications like LIRC (remote control for e. g. mythtv) can). > I was going to experiment with the keymaps file, but it seems to me > that's mostly for laptops since it's based on system vendor/product. > That doesn't really apply with this external keyboard, does it? Right. I recently added a block for external USB keyboards to the development version of udev, but this is not in Ubuntu 9.10 yet: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=blob_plain;f=extras/keymap/95-keymap.rules;hb=HEAD But it seems that we can't actually do anything in the keymaps right now, since other keys work and Fn+F5/F6 need to be fixed in the kernel.
