i have the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop... good keyboard, bought it twice.

but i always get errors like these in dmesg:
Code:

atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xf3 on isa0060/serio0).
atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e073 <keycode>' to make it known.
atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0xf3 on isa0060/serio0).

maybe i'm hitting unknown buttons on accident, idk, but how can i stop these from erroring out...

i would also like to know what a keycode is so i can set it, because i want to set my favorites buttons to run metacity global keybinding commands (using gconf editor)
for example:
/usr/bin/3ddesk --gotocolumn=1
/usr/bin/3ddesk --gotocolumn=2
/usr/bin/3ddesk --gotocolumn=3
/usr/bin/3ddesk --gotocolumn=4

and if i wanted to use my multimedia keys for XMMS, is there a way to set the default multimedia player from totem to XMMS so that i can set the key in Keyboard Shortcuts... or do i have to leave them blank and just do a global keybinding and set the command to xmms -r and such ?
