'setkeycodes' can do that.

Not yet, but I'll have to write one.

X needs to be set up as well. In 2.6, X doesn't get real raw codes but instead simulated raw codes generated by the kernel.

The formula for setkeycodes is:
if (code > 0x100) you're out of luck, setkeycodes doesn't handle this yet; else if (code > 0x80) result = code - 0x80 + 0xe000; else result = code;
And then you use 'setkeycodes result keycode',
where keycode you find in include/linux/input.h.
