I have bought multimedia keyboard (plus ups systerms cruees 1815). After reading some manuals I have understood how to make multimedia buttons work, but there is one problem:
There are aditional arrow keys and when i press up button keyboard starts sending messages that e00b key is pressed & when I press down button keyboard constantly sends message that the same key (e00b) is released. Under M$ bouth types of messages are recieved, but under Gentoo I recieve release messge only after press message.
Does any body know how to make this buttons work?
I think that I can write a programm that emulates pressing button and launch it when down button is pressed. This program should set a flag, and if this flag is set, press message is ignored. How to emulate pressing buttons (I'm interested in C/C++ code)?

If i remove
Code:

setkeycodes e00b 201

from /etc/conf.d/local.start then i can see:
Code:

alexg@gus ~ $ dmesg |tail
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x8b on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e00b <keycode>' to make it known.

All release messages are heare! May be there is another way to monitor them?
In HOW-TO

there is something about "Getting bizzare keyboards working" but the link is broken. Does anybody know can that script solve my problem and where I can read (& download) about it?
