Description Pekka Pietikainen 2003-08-24 09:32:21 UTC 
When using the full USB hid input stuff on my logitech cordless keyboard,
the key giving ' and * on a finnish keymap (\ and | in US I believe) key doesn't
work, but switches consoles instead. Debugging the situation with evbug finds
that when the keyboard is in the PS/2 port, the correct keysym 43 is given, but
it changes to 84 in HID mode for some reason...

Fixable in userspace, sure, but unless there's a good reason for the key codes
change...

Unfortunately there is no way to make sure all extra keys generate the same
keycode on PS/2 as they do on USB. It's because PS/2 and USB use a completely
different method of reporting keys as well as a completely different set of
scancodes.
