I'm following the wiki here:

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Multimedia_Keys#If_key_presses_generate_no_X_events

I'm trying to get a handle on assigning keys on a PS3 Bluetooth remote and reassigning some of the others which are out of Xorg's range.

The device is setup correctly and has it's own /dev/input/eventX address.

If I run evtest on the device I get:

If I run keymap -i and select a specific button (BTN_TR, say) I get:

Quote:
(no scan code received) key code: 137


Now then, I'm falling a little short here in understanding the wiki. This event code is outside 255 (it's 311) so I would to remap to anywhere suitable < 255. And then I would like to assign it to F11. Could anybody show me explicitly how to do it?
