Hi

I tried to follow the instructions on
http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-keymap-try.html
and I got these results:
>rpm -q hal
hal-0.5.11-2.fc9.i386

>lshal |grep keymap
 info.callouts.add = {'hal-setup-keymap'} (string list)
 info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.keyboard', 'input.keypad',
'input.keys', 'input.keymap', 'button'} (string list)
 input.keymap.data = {'e001:fn_esc', 'e008:presentation',
'e009:battery', 'e00a:f22', 'e059:info'} (string list)

So my understanding is that quirk is correctly added to fdi file, but
when I look at /var/log/messages after pressing a presentation key for
example

kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x88 on
isa0060/serio0).
kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e008 <keycode>' to make it known.

I got these messages. I tried restarting hal, rebooting and still the
same problem.

If I manually do the setkeycodes e008 113 I got key working in xev

What am I doing wrong?
