The current discussion about dealing with patch integration in Linux has
reminded me of this little patch I wrote a few months back for my Logitech
iTouch cordless keyboard. It's mainly to put an end to the "unknown scanco=
de"
messages that would appear on the console every few minutes and corrupt my
display, but while I was at it I added keycodes for the special-function
buttons on the keyboard too.

Here's the patch, and it's a pretty straightforward one. It should apply
cleanly to 2.4.17.
