Who cares what stupid name is printed on it?  If it is PS/2 then it is

I don't know all of the details as I haven't gotten around to that
myself.  Basically you have a useful OS at your control ... run 'xev'
and start pressing keys.  Each key will send it's own keycode to the
system, and xev dumps all that data to stdout.

The next step is to tell X what to do when those keys are pressed.  I
think that's usually done with a program named 'xkeymap' or something
along those lines.  I can't find it on my system though.  (there are
several howtos on the web, some include discussions of the "windows"
key)  I just found the 'hotkeys' program, which seems to work pretty
well (at least for the volume buttons).
