I have a logitech bluetooth keyboard (Logitech K810) that has some 
"media keys", volumeup, volumedown, mute etc. When I try to map theese 
in the mythtv frontend, myth says something like "unknown key". Mapping 
has no effect. At the moment I'm launching the frontend from a text 
console. The keys have keycodes and scancodes in the the console 
according to showkey(1) from the kbd package. Are there codes I can give 
to setkeycodes(1) to allow the frontend to understand the media keys, or 
will I have to get X working? The most convenient option would be if I 
could just issue "loadkeys <keymap>" I think. Is it possible to create a 
keymap that mythfrontend would be able to understand?

P.S: Logitech K810 works really well as a media keyboard. Small, 
backlight that goes to sleep when idle, really fast wake-up.
