Trying to remap a wrongly labelled key

Heya,

This Dell keyboard has a "media" key, with a music note on it. The
problem is that it's KEY_CONFIG I get instead of KEY_MEDIA.

So I'm trying to fix the problem in user-space. This is one of the
snippets I've tried to use:

        int codes[2];
        codes[0] = 0x183;
        codes[1] = KEY_MEDIA;
        if (ioctl (fd, EVIOCSKEYCODE, codes) < 0)
                perror ("Set keycode failed");

I inserted that into evtest.

# ./evtest /dev/input/event6 
Input driver version is 1.0.0
Input device ID: bus 0x3 vendor 0x413c product 0x2010 version 0x110
Input device name: "Dell Dell USB Keyboard Hub"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (Sync)
  Event type 1 (Key)
<snip>
    Event code 171 (Config)
<snip>
Set keycode failed: Invalid argument

So there's a key for which the scancode corresponds to KEY_CONFIG. It
should be 0x183 according to the HUT. but it doesn't want to work for
me...

I'm using 2.6.27.9

Cheers
