In this article I will show you how to get your Logitech Media Keyboard Elite's multimedia keys functional and configured for use within the Openbox window manager.

The Media Keyboard Elite has four keys which need to have their key codes manually setup in order to work. These are the side zoom keys and the messenger key.

1. Setting up your keycodes.

Before we can do anything we need to edit your local multi-user start-up script and configure the key codes for some keys.

This can be done by editing your /etc/rc.local file as root and adding the following:

setkeycodes e004 132 # Messenger key
setkeycodes e05a 218 # Mode F button
