Afaik, current -git does emit KEY_FN. It might not be in the X.org
default keycodes, but that's a userland fix I suppose...

On the other hand, "Fn" is handled in hardware for ADB keyboards and by
the kernel (simulating hardware) afaik, in OS X, and I suspect it might
be a good idea to do the same, that is, have a translation map of the HW
keycodes when Fn is pressed in the kernel driver.

It may require some politics to get accepted by the input layer
maintainer though.

Ben.
