Microsoft keyboards

Hi,
I have one of those keyboards that has loads of extra buttons on it, and I
have managed to install it along with Lineak to handle the key presses for
most of the buttons; however some of them don't seem to do anything when I
press them and don't want to register when I test them in xev.
I think the problem is something to do with the configuration in the
xorg.conf file, but I am not sure what to change it to. I am using a
Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard, and the contents of the
xorg.conf file are below:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
EndSection
I tried setting the driver to Microsoft, just to see if that would work,
but it ended up making my machine unbootable (which took me a while to
learn how to fix!) so I am at a total loss as to how to get the remaining
few buttons to work...
Ideas anyone?
Cheers,
