Microsoft keyboards

[Dylan Parry]

Hi,

I have one of those keyboards that has loads of extra buttons on it, and I  
have managed to install it along with Lineak to handle the key presses for  
most of the buttons; however some of them don't seem to do anything when I  
press them and don't want to register when I test them in xev.

I think the problem is something to do with the configuration in the  
xorg.conf file, but I am not sure what to change it to. I am using a  
Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard, and the contents of the  
xorg.conf file are below:

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Keyboard0"
         Driver      "keyboard"
         Option      "XkbModel" "pc105"
         Option      "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection

I tried setting the driver to Microsoft, just to see if that would work,  
but it ended up making my machine unbootable (which took me a while to  
learn how to fix!) so I am at a total loss as to how to get the remaining  
few buttons to work...

Ideas anyone?

Cheers,
