So prefixed scancodes don't work? Sounds familiar. I guess this has something
to do with the X server putting the keyboard in RAW mode (send raw scancodes,
including prefixes) instead of MEDIUMRAW mode (send keycodes, 1 code for each
key pres/release) or vice versa.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
