Well, yes. That's exactly what happens, keysym 0x0, Nosymbol. I
assumed that if xev reacts to button being pressed, then these buttons
are already recognized. That was wrong! Guess modifying xmodmap files is
the only way to go. Lineak is a neat thing although in my case it's
useless, since it's FreeBSD here, not Linux... Might also try
xbindkeys, didn't know of that before.
Thanks everyone for suggestions!
