I've recently been given a new keyboard, an EZKey EZ-7000. This looks like a nice keyboard (yeah I like lots of buttons), but I haven't got it working completely yet. I managed to get most buttons working, but I seem to have lost the function keys (fortunately I still have F1 and F7 (actually F6 sends a F7), so I can switch to at least one console and back to X). I've been trying to find out how to map the keyboard keys to X keys, and haven't had any luck. It seems like xkb is the way to go, although it seems like it might be a full year before I even understand what the hell I am supposed to modify/create to get it working.

PS: I just now discovered that this keyboard wasn't that good after all: to make some "shortcuts" it assigned several keys different values than usual: so pressing F2 will get a CTRL+N sent instead, which is the default for bold typeface in windows+spanish (which is the drawing on top of the key), pressing F7 will send CTRZ+Z, which is the undo combo... damn keyboard, I think I'll have to ditch it unless I somehow manage to override the behaviour.
