Sorry, I should probably explain that a little more. All this does is 
ensure that hal will generate event messages whenever extended keycodes 
are generated. These will still not be usable by X - applications that 
want them will have to listen for the dbus events. If you want X 
applications to be able to receive them directly, you'll still need to 
remap the key to a keycode below 256.
