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.
