Yes, you can use the dailies
(http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/), but it shouldn't
matter much at this point.

Ah, your udev dump shows that this USB keyboard is kind of "two devices in
one" and the hotkeys are on another device (input/event6).

That's a shame. So I guess we need to use /lib/udev/keymap -i input/event6
after all.

That's not really helpful, I'm afraid, since we need the scan codes (-s).

Thanks for trying, that didn't help unfortunately. So I'm afraid you
have to try this again on the daily live CD, install debugging
symbols, and re-do this command afterwards.

For debug symbols, boot the live system, go to

  http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/u/udev/

and click on udev-dbgsym_145-1_i386.ddeb or udev-dbgsym_145-1_amd64.ddeb
(depending on whether you use the i386 or amd64 live CD). This should
trigger the installation of that package.

Thanks!
