Sorry, weve came to that conclusion, the thread got to somethign else
entirely different. ill summarize here my problem so that you dont
need to read it all over again.

1) I have a microsoft multimedia keyboard, and the hid driver doesnt
maps all the multimedia keys. The output of the hid debug output was
posted previously in the thread.
2) For some reason, th hid driver register lots of absolute axis and
joystick buttons that dont seem to work at all, no matter what i
press. I Asked if it would be possible to blacklist those. Currently
the device registers a js interface with so many axis and buttons that
some programs even segfault while reading it. This interface is
useless as far as i can see.
If you need more detailed information please ask me.

Maybe the thread subject should be changed to something more
apropriate, do so if it pleases you.
