[quoted lines by Andor Demarteau on 2008/08/23 at 20:06 +0200]

>=- the two buttons left/right of the navpad seem to register as dot 7 or 8 
>respectively in learningmode

This relates to another discussion that's been going on. Please try the 
attached patch (baum-dots78-3.patch). It should make the inner two keys be dots 
7 and 8, and it should make the buttons on either side of the pad input a 
space. The outer two keys aren't bound to anything yet.

>- this whlist the most left and right keys on the topmounted

This patch should make them work as dots 7 and 8 as well.

>- a bit different is that the keycoding is differnt then that inside the 
>Baum varioconnect manual whcih is a bit getting used to.

They probably document what's been done for their Windows driver. We have no 
idea what that is.
