Can't use setkeycodes any more in Fedora 14

   I have a not-that-old Logitech multimedia keyboard for which I have to 
manually add some scancode-keycode mappings.  Up till F12, I could happily 
do that with a call to setkeycodes at boot-up.

   Now I've updated to F14, however, setkeycodes is always erring with:

KDSETKEYCODE: Invalid argument
failed to set scancode 94 to keycode 189

   [numbers e.g.]


   FWIW, getkeycodes seems to report an empty table (although this might be 
correct if no extra settings have been applied):

Plain scancodes xx (hex) versus keycodes (dec)

  0x00:    0   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
  0x08:    -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
  0x10:    -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
  0x18:    -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
  0x20:    -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
  0x28:    -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
  0x30:    -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
  0x38:    -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
  0x40:    -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -

Escaped scancodes e0 xx (hex)
