Hi, I've recently got a new Microsoft Wireless Keyboard  v2.0. I am curios
whether multimedia keyboards work with FreeBSD out of box or should I
configure something or use some quirks to enable extra keys. This keyboard
works fine with Linux 2.6.30 all keys work otb. I tried using xev in FreeBSD
but none of additional keys returned anything after pressing it. Are
multimedia keyboard supported in FreeBSD or am I having bad luck with mine
keyboard and should I send PR.

My system:

uname -a

 Thanks in advance.
