I've recently been given an Acer keyboard with a few extra nobs and
things, a workmate did the hard bits by using xev to work out the
keycode (look for the "keycode" keyword in the xev output) then used
xmodmap to map the keycode to an X event (keycode 196 = FunkyKey1). It
was then easy for me to use my windowmanager to setup convenient short
cuts.

that's pretty short on details, but hopefully it'll help.
