I managed to do this for SuSE 6.4 and a Logitech iTouch keyboard. 
Unfortunately I trashed that installation, and since moving to 7.2 I haven't 
repeated the feat. The information turned up when searched through google for 
"itouch linux", and although I was running xfree 3.6, the principles may 
still be applicable with xfree 4.x. The first step I would try is to run xev 
and press the keys to see if the events are being recognised. If they are, 
then the rest is just configuration to make the keys do something. <pause...> 
I have just done this on my system, and the key events are being recognised, 
so modifying my system to make them do something will be trivial, as should 
yours under the same conditions. With xfree 3.6, I seem to remember having to 
recompile!

Good luck,
Paul
