/lib/udev/findkeyboards reports input/event3 however this only responds to standard keys. event4 provides the multimedia keys and the zoom keys now register correctly in /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event4

Also I've noticed that the skip and fast forward buttons are both recognised as the same key, xev however seems to see a difference between them (below)

The Gnome keyboard shortcuts application however refuses to recognise the zoom keys still, is this todo with their scancode being >255 as was mentioned before and if so is there any way to utilise these keys even if they could be mapped to a keyboard character.
