Multimedia Keyboard (extra keys) on console

[ferrex at impaled.org]

yea but that doesnt help me, the 041 for the key - how would i compute that
from the "0xe0 0x4f" for example? for a real example:

i have a key that produces "0xe0 0x10", 0x10 however is decimal 016, and is
the 'q' key, pressing the "0xe0 0x10" key does not print a 'q' tho :)
so the "0xe0" has a meaning, i tried 0xe0+0x10 ..but thats stupid and didnt
give me a good value, so ..what decimal scancode is "0xe0 0x10" ?
