After reading through many complex articles about how to set up non standard key support under linux. (for all those nifty keys on your keyboard like volume, home email etc) I found a really easy way under fedora. while it doesn't do quite everything i would like it to, this is the easyist way to use all those (previously) unusible keys.
First I tested this on a logitech cordless keyboard (part of the wireless optical duo) and found it to work.
From the start-menu-thingie go to preferences>Keyboard shortcuts
To use a special Key on the keyboard jsut click on the function that you would like it assigned, and press the special key that u want it to use, you should get a value like 0xdf 0xec etc... indicating that it has been recieved.
I only have tried this on a logitec wireless keyboard plugged into a usb port. If anyone else tries this and finds that it works, Please Post your keyboard make and model!
