I knew it. With a PS/2 keyboard, on a text console, only the yen and pipe key is broken. But with a USB keyboard, on a text console, the backslash and underbar key is broken right along with the yen and pipe key. These famous two keys produce no input. A few years ago I tried to persuade Andries Brouwer or Vojtech Pavlik to accept a USB keyboard but they refused. The patch which I sent to Vojtech Pavlik was ignored and these two keys continued not to work (except on my machine). Finally Mike Fabian accepted a gift of a USB keyboard and this defect in Linux got fixed. But only for somewhere around the last half of the 2.4 releases, not for 2.6. What will it take this time? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
