Well, if it is of any help: I assigned the back and forth keys on my X30 to
"Next Console" and "Previous Console" (I often work on console rather than
X) with the following in my startup scripts:

----------------------------------
/usr/bin/setkeycodes e069 126
/usr/bin/setkeycodes e06a 127

if [ -x /usr/bin/loadkeys ]; then
 /usr/bin/loadkeys my_map
fi
----------------------------------

And the keymap file contains:

----------------------------------
include "de-latin1-nodeadkeys.map"

keycode 126 = Incr_Console
keycode 127 = Decr_Console
----------------------------------

May this be of any help to you, Heiko
