[maemo-developers] developing xkb mappings

[From: Tim Tisdall]

   Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm completely new to some of this stuff...

   I recently got an iGo Stowaway keyboard and wanted to type with it
in Dvorak on my N800.  I managed to hack together some changes to the
xkb files so I can select "English (dvorak)" from the list of keyboard
layouts, but I was hoping to refine the symbol mapping more to use
some of the extra keys available.  I need to be able to read the
scancodes sent by the keyboard, but I haven't been able to figure out
a way to do that yet in Maemo.  Anyone have any experience with this
sort of thing?
