Has anybody got the Microsoft Office Keyboard extra keys (and scrool wheel) working under X ?

You mean the scrol weel on the mouse? Yes that works with me. You can make any key work. Just don't remeber how.
To point you in the right direction, see the man page of "showkey". It should give you some helpfull info
Also see this link
Got that link from google/linux by searching for "extra keys". There is a lot more where that came from. Go look!!
Hope I helped

Windows 2000 got the wrong keymap for my keyboard - it thinks I've got a 102 keyboard and it's a jp106 and I can't change it. I know how to change it, but it doesn't work.

I hate Windows 2000.

I use LinEAK for the extra keys on my IBM Easy Access Keyboard and your MS office keyboard is supported too.

Well I've known cockneys to drop their h's but never an aussie. Tsk. No-one speak the Queen's English any more!*
