For these, I had the crazy idea today that maybe you could have a tool
that asks you to press a key, and if no key event is coming forward,
parse the dmesg output for the keyboard driver warning...
You won't get a keyboard warning : most enhanced keys do not generate
anything today because they're attached to a different device than the
main keyboard, and there's no driver for this device (yet)
I do get warnings for all of the nonworking keys on this laptop, at
least.
Lucky you :) On mine, none of them are detected by the kernel.
I also get this kind of warings:
atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd8 on
isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e058 <keycode>' to make it known.
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xd8 on
isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e058 <keycode>' to make it known.

These are easier to solve. Use the setkeycodes command to map ths scancodes listed to unused keycodes. Then you'll be able to use these keys even in X and map shortcuts to them. You may add the setkeycodes lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that they are always executed when you boot.

thats what I do now ;)
but I don't think this is a user friendly way ....
