I clearly know its weaknesses, and I believe Dmitry said, the HID bus/tiny driver way is the most ultimatest way very well. But (You may guess I will say this word :), before the HID bus or other better implementation come , I hope use the extended keys of my keyboard on Linux, and I guess other people also think same with me, so we need something here temporarily, even it do not merge into upstream code tree. And, I want to know that is somebody works on HID bus, Can I join it? Good luck. -Li Yu
