Assignment of internet keys / media buttons

[Cam <camilo mesias co uk>]

Hi,

I'd like to know where to report problems with key mappings.

On my hardware (Dell Inspiron 6000) there are 'media buttons' (mute, 
vol+/-, play, next, prev, stop) which are detected as keypresses with an 
unmapped keycode.

I can find the keycodes using xev, then I can map them to something 
useful using xmodmap, then compatible applications (eg. rhythmbox) do 
the right thing when the buttons are pressed.

The first problem is that the keys are initially unmapped; a secondary 
problem is that some controls (eg. volume popup) don't respond to the 
volume keys when they probably should.

So, where can I tell someone about this mapping? Which package needs 
some extra config? I should be able to provide a patch.
