how do you keymap the keyboards extra "media" keys

josh

How can I use my extra keys that are on my keyboard? Such as: volume, mute, standby, internet... and such. I figure there is a way to map them to a command so say, the internet key would open up mozilla? I've looked through xmodmap and xev but I can't figure it out. I basically need to know how to identify these keys and then put them in a relevant file. Like ~/.fluxbox/keys or something. Thanks!

Thanks guys! I did some tinkering around and royally screwed up my keyboard a few times. But I've got it working now. I just need to figure out what the commands are to increase and decrease and mute my volume using alsa. You guys dont' know off-hand do you?
