First, thanks for your answer.

That is exactly what happens. I can see the events for all other keys, but not 
for the ones I mentioned in the first post.

Of course there was a Windows CD in the package. ;)  But: I thought, all 
keyboards make an event by any keystroke. I exspected this somewhere in the 
protocoll for the keyboards. Even if not assigned, the button "is there", 
just like the 3-6-buttons with mice. The assignment is the easy part, as you 
already mentioned. 

Is there an way to get the buttons work under X or is there no hope? Would it 
help to boot Windows, assign there the keys (maybe in the keyboards eeprom) 
and then have them under X? (I don't even know if this keyboard has an 
eeprom, where to set the numbers, just a guess.)

This is what I have already done for the ones, I'm getting events, so I can 
tell what number they have.
