 Any one ever manage to get extra keys to work on a USB keyboard in
 the RELENG_7 branch?

In the past, I have used hotkeys[1] from ports for this. I don't have
that keyboard now, so I can't test if it still works.

Unfortunately that does not work. The extra keys on USB keyboards
don't result in any thing visible to xev.

Also usbhidctl does not show any thing happening on the uhid device
that is created by the keyboard.

Well, it did on mine. YMMV.

Perhaps that particular keyboard is broken by design?
