I bought myself a Logitech RF keyboard today, and it has all those nifty
rubber keys on top. I was able to map the keys just fine in XFree86,
using our good friends xev and xmodmap. I've mapped them to serve as
F13-F25, so that I can bind program execution to them with my window
manager.

Now, I would like to map the keys on the console. That means I need one
of two questions answered:

1) Is there a program like xev that operates on the console, to tell me
the appropriate keycode to use in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps files?

2) Is there a definite correlation between X11 keycodes and FreeBSD
console keycodes? I thought I noticed a correlation before, but when I
applied it to get the new keycode on a different keyboard, it didn't
work.
