This is a nice app for configuring the keys, but it doesn't work 100% wth the 2.6 kernel.

I know, with kernel 2.6 there where some changes, not every button got an identifier. I know the developer and he has told me that he is working on a solution, but it might take some time.

I tried it too and got the same error, but I didn't select a keyboard in the list (don't know the manufacturer of my keyboard yet, have to look it up). I will submit him a bug report, thanks for reporting it.

what bout manually doing it.i found my keys and added them to xmodmap,now how do i make shortcuts to them.?

I can only tell you how to do it in the kde. Right click the K -> open the menu editor -> click on the program you want to bind a key to, on the right side at the bottom there is an entry field for a key, click it and press the key you want to bind the program to.
