Saw the discussion on irc. Feel your pain big-time on the X server
limitation on keycodes. Its put a big damper on efforts to add native
support to mythtv. Peter Hutterer's libXi2 cookbook tutorials talk a
good game about how libXi2 supports 32-bit keycodes, but neglects to
mention that the X server still gobbles up anything above 248 or 255
or whatever it is, and remedying that is no small task. :(

I think for mythtv, we're going to end up having a daemon process with
elevated privs that reads directly from input devices to get around
this annoyance, until such time as the annoyance is gone.
