I have an Acer aspire 4315 running Ubuntu 10.04.
By default showkeys -s doesn't report anything when the euro or dollar keys are
pressed. As above, the default scancodes are >255. Using "evtest", I find
that the scancodes are "b3" and "b4"
I have made these usable by
1) Adding to /etc/rc.local (and making sure it is excutable):
setkeycodes b3 183
setkeycodes b4 184
2) Creating ~/.Xmodmap with
keycode 183 = XF86Launch2
keycode 184 = XF86Launch3
Reboot. (Or sudo /etc/rc.local; sudo xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap)
Probably could map them to other directly usable things like euro
symbol, home end etc as well
3) Myself, I now use these keys in System/Preferences/Keyboard
Shortcuts, mapped to certain special functions.
