These are the buttons that are the simplest to get working. Save these X key­ codes for future use. First we need to get the other keys to show up under X as well. In order for them to do so they need properly configured Linux key­codes that they lack for the moment.

8.1.2 Scan-codes

This step is different and considerable easier under F8 than FC4 or FC5. There is no need to shutdown X now as before.

2.Just press the desired key, ex. P1. Then take look at the dmesg output:

#dmesg tail

atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf4 on isa0060/serio0).

atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e074 <keycode>' to make it known.

atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf4 on isa0060/serio0).

atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e074 <keycode>' to make it known.

I got the following result:
