If somebody is still interested in project of Linux input device => X
key codes mapping from the comment 30, there is an update with new URLs
(no other changes were done in the comment nor linked files):

As this problem is going to be resolved, we should start think about
getting correct translation between kernel and X.

Proposed patch for the old keyboard driver to pass keycodes 128-16383
(128-255 with old Xi) using "Extended MEDIUMRAW" encapsulation: bug
11545

Keyboard mapping project page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Laptop/HotKeys

Mapping work-in-progress. One table and set of scripts providing all
needed tables. Some keys still need discussion.

* Proposed mapping table between kernel and X:

* Proposed logical categories of keys (to help understanding them):
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/keymap_editor/keys.txt

* Scancode scripts for kernel (generated from X symbols/inet and table
above):
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/scancode_tables/

* Proposed code snippet to evdev_key.c driver (generated from the table
above):
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/evdev_key_c_table.txt

* Proposed X keycodes/evdev for evdev driver (generated from the table
above): http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/keycodes_evdev

* Proposed common extended basic keymap for X:
http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/sbrabec/keyboards/symbols_evdev

* Proposed X keycodes/inet for RAW and SOFTRAW drivers (generated from X
symbols/inet and table above):

Title:
  New Sony Vaios hotkeys don't work (fn_key polling)

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On new Sony Vaios (FS and FJ series) hotkeys don't work.

  A piece of code that enables them as been released on gentoo forums.
  The programs runs as a service and as a config file in /etc/fsfn.conf.

  Here is the dmidecode output on my laptop:
  System Information
          Manufacturer: Sony Corporation
          Product Name: VGN-FJ3S_W

  Basically, the same config (default) enables hotkeys on all VGN-FN*
  computers and adding BRT_HACK_FJS=1 parameter in /etc/fsfn.conf files,
  enables them for VGN-FJ* series.

  As an attachement to this bug, here is the fsfn tarball (latest
  version from the gentoo boards).
