Don't start randomly allocating mappings to the keys until you get xev
results on them; i.e., run xev first.

# I just modified my xmodmap like this
#
# keycode 118 = 1
# keycode 119 = 2
# keycode 120 = 3
# keycode 121 = 4
# keycode 122 = 5
#  ...
# keycode 252 = 5
# keycode 253 = 6
# keycode 254 = 7
# keycode 255 = 8
#
# but xev doesn't show any keypress. xmodmap -pke  shows these bindings.
# Any other ideas?
#
# Thanks
