Keytouch doesn't map keys properly

Hello,

I've a Logitech Desktop Wave Keyboard (Cordless) and I tried configuring the special keys via keytouch, but it doesn't seem to work. I always get this error:

keytouch-init: Failed to set keycode:
keycode 142 to scancode 8450 (0x2102)
keytouch-init: Failed to set keycode:

I made a config file for my keyboard via keytouch-editor. I had to change the scan codes manually to 6 digits instead of the 3 the editor spits out. Here it is:

    </key>
  </key-list>
</keyboard>

The only key that is working is the "Stop" button, but it doesn't work properly since it decreases the volume.

I know I am not the only one with this problem, it appeared here and here.

If you look carefully, you would see that the scancodes that appear in the error message aren't the scancodes entered in the config file!

Thanks in advance, Ido.
