I’ve got a fairly old PS/2 keyboard with 125 keys, of which some only emit scancodes, which are not tied to any keycodes. Now I’d like to start setkeycodes as a systemd service to assign keycodes to these “problematic” keys. Running evtest, however, shows me some strange keycodes, which do not correspond to any (physical) key on my board, whereas the keys F16 thru F22 (and a bunch of other keys I’m omitting here for clarity), are not mentioned at all:
Input driver version is 1.0.1
Input device ID: bus 0x11 vendor 0x1 product 0x1 version 0xab41
Input device name: "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
Supported events:

Event code 173 (KEY_REFRESH)
Event code 183 (KEY_F13)
Event code 184 (KEY_F14)
Event code 185 (KEY_F15)
// Where are F16 thru F22 (#186 thru #192)?
Event code 217 (KEY_SEARCH)
Event code 226 (KEY_MEDIA)
How can I make the missing F keys appear on ths list? And: Do they have to be listed here at all in order to be used in setkeycodes? My O/S is OpenSuSE Leap 15.5 on AMD64.
