Here is an example from my configuration (this probably won't work with
hotkeys in Sarge and Sid, as far as I know the config file format
changed):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<CONFIG model="Logitech Cordless iTouch/Internet/Cordless Desktop v2">

  <PrevTrack    keycode="144"/>
  <Stop         keycode="164"/>
  <NextTrack    keycode="153"/>

  <VolUp        keycode="176" adj="2"/>
  <VolDown      keycode="174" adj="2"/>
  <Mute         keycode="160"/>
...
</CONFIG>

You can find out the keycodes using xev.

best regards
