[SOLVED] Is there a nice way to map scancodes to keycodes without HAL?
So I've just upgraded to X.org 1.8 and don't need HAL anymore, except for one thing - mapping my extra keyboard keys. The only way to do this without HAL that I can find is by just sticking a bunch of setkeycodes commands in my /etc/rc.local, which seems pretty messy to me. I was wondering if something has replaced this functionality post-HAL (maybe udev), or has it just disappeared?

I think I figured out a way to do it using udev, and I'll update the wiki page once I've tested it a bit.
Edit: All done, so now I can disable my hal daemon (big boot speed improvement 
). Unfortunately I can't uninstall yet since hal-cups-utils has only recently moved over, and some packages still depend on the ancient gnome-vfs
