Apologies for the bad form of following up my own post; it appears
that cruising through syslog shows a number of lines like:
[snip]keyboard: unknown scancode e0 17

Cruising through the logfile with:
fgrep keyboard messages | awk '{print $9 , " " , $10}' | sort -u

gives me:
e0 10
e0 12
e0 17
e0 18
e0 19
e0 1e
e0 20
e0 22
e0 24
e0 25
e0 26
e0 2e
e0 30
e0 32

14 lines, what a coincidence, there's 14 buttons. BTW, the lines only
appear once, despite hitting the keys many times - how come?

Anyway, I found the relevant code in drivers/char/keyboard.c, but don't
know where to start hacking. Clues?
