I am looking for the meaning of the following key codes as #defined in include/linux/input.h. I need to know what hardware produces the keycode and what happens/should happen when the corresponding key is pressed.

Thanks for all you comments! They helped a lot.
The meaning for some keycodes is still missing, though:

* KEY_ARCHIVE, KEY_FILE, KEY_DIRECTORY - What's the difference here?
* KEY_DIGITS
* KEY_ISO - somehow related to KEY_KATAKANAHIRAGANA ??? (mapped to same scancode in rawmode emulation)
* KEY_MODE
* KEY_QUESTION - what's the difference to KEY_INFO and KEY_SEARCH?
* KEY_SCREEN - switch between 4:3 and 16:9 ???

I am currently trying to make all special keys just work by fixing the whole keyboard/input stack from the kernel up to the desktop environments. On part of this effort is to complete the mappings applied to the keys during their way up.

Thanks again
