[un-solved] Microsoft keyboard and unworking keys

Hi all,

I have a Microsoft keyboard (*hides*) and some of its multimedia keys don't work (most of them do, though), as in "they don't show any keycode on 'xev' or 'showkey'". I don't really think I'll get them to work, but I'll ask anyway: is there any hack to make them work? It's a Digital Media 3000 if it makes any difference.

TIA

edit: it was solved on the mailing-list by Celtic. While `showkey` doesn't show anything, `showkey -s` does show. It's only a matter of setting these keys with `setkeycodes` now.

edit2: ok, nevermind it. I was pressing the wrong key when I though `showkey -s` was showing the keycodes. I guess I'll just give up...
