};


Unfortunately 2 buttons are still dead (word and excel icons), their event codes are: 280 (word processor) and 279 (calc) - piece from log of evtest when buttons are pressed and released:

Event: time 1118420417.601438, type 1 (Key), code 280 (?), value 1
Event: time 1118420417.689423, type 1 (Key), code 280 (?), value 0

Event: time 1118420419.065194, type 1 (Key), code 279 (?), value 1
Event: time 1118420419.177176, type 1 (Key), code 279 (?), value 0

You should probably take this upstream...
