Hello,

I've got a USB keyboard with extra/non-standard keys (things like volume control, internet & email buttons, etc) and am wondering how to get them working in X11. I run amd64/3.1

I'd imagine that there may need to be support in wscons for these extra keys and possibly a keyboard driver if the control of such keys is proprietary. I tried to take a look at /usr/X11R6/bin/xev but no extra keys (in fact even the function keys weren't showing up) would cause events.

So: has anybody seen "extra" keys work? If so could you point me in a direction?

Thanks all,
- Jesse
