shortcut editor and multimedia keys

[Aaron]

this doesnt seem to work. i got these errors from other keybinding
programs if it helps.

xhkeys:

aaron at gentoo:: X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter
out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  33 (X_GrabKey)
  Value in failed request:  0xa3
  Serial number of failed request:  23
  Current serial number in output stream:  31

lineakd:

aaron at gentoo:: lineakd                                                      [~]
--- X manager initialization error ---
  The keycode 178 cannot be used, as it's not between the
  min(8) and max(136) keycode of your keyboard.
  Please increase the 'maximum' value in
    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86,
  then restart X.

all the key scanning programs seem to be able to read keypresses, but
it seems like some part of X may be missing or not configured right...
gentoo ebuild bug?
