If the driver uses key tables then it'S as easy as editing a file. If it's an 
older driver which still uses hard-coded bindings then the code would have to 
be modified unless the driver is first converted to use key tables. I'm not 
sure which case is yours since you didn't say which driver you're referring to. 
Our goal, of course, is to upgrade all of the drivers to use key tables, but 
that hasn't been done yet.
