Title:
  Acer Euro key doesn't work

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have an Acer Extensa 4420 laptop with Ubuntu 8.04. It has a Euro key
  that is not only next to the 5 key, but is also an exclusive key above
  the arrow keys. When I click it, my /var/log/messages says this:

  kernel: [ 1209.761519] atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xb3 on isa0060/serio0).
  kernel: [ 1209.761526] atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e033 <keycode>' to make it known.

  and repeats it. I guess one set is for key down and another for key up
  -- but that's a guess.

  I would like to click that key and have it work in Firefox and GNOME
  apps, but instead I get nothing and my /var/log/messages has this
  atkbd error like you see above.

  (As well, it has a $ key next to the arrows as well and because I can
  already do Shift 4 to get $, I'd love for that key to display a
  British Pound. This would help me a lot when interacting with my
  European clients as a PHP web developer.)
