Hm. Looking at the xmodmap files in xserver-common, I see that the
keycode mapped to XF86Start is 96 (F12) for a716 and h1910, 48 for
collie, 78 for h2200, 75 for h6300 and 110 (home) for hx4700. Is it
reasonable to let every machine have another keycode for this?
In the asic2 driver it's mapped to KEY_HP with an /*!*/ in the code.
Then again, although there's a BTN_START for gamepads and a BTN_TASK
for mice, the kernel's include/linux/input.h doesn't contain a fitting
KEY for this.
