Have you seen contrib/g15-keysyms.lisp?  I submitted it with the M* and
LCD* buttons as well.  I use the g15daemon program to feed the keysyms
to Linux; are you doing it differently?

My G15 keyboard has the blue backlight (orange behind the scroll
lock/caps lock/num lock indicators) and a QWERTY layout.  I don't know
the full lineup of models, I thought they were all QWERTY.

Sorry, I haven't done this.
