I have the following in my ~/.xmodmaprc:

keycode 234 = XF86Back
keycode 233 = XF86Forward
keycode 232 = XF86Stop
keycode 231 = XF86Refresh
keycode 130 = XF86HomePage
keycode 236 = XF86Mail
keycode 198 = XF86MyComputer
keycode 161 = XF86Calculator
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 164 = XF86AudioStop
keycode 144 = XF86AudioPrev
keycode 153 = XF86AudioNext
keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 129 = XF86AudioMedia
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume

And it doesn't work with my WM.

Thanks for the tip.

So far, I ran (as root):

# usbhidctl -anrv -f /dev/uhid0
Report descriptor:
