I dug a bit deeper and tried adding a file to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ with the
content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter
Mouse 8000">
<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">167:117</append>
<append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">166:112</append>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
and lshal | grep keymap shows
input.keymap.data = {'167:117', '166:112'} (string list)
but it doesn't seem to have any effect
