With the above included in drivers/char/defkeymap.map and regenerating defkeymap.c_shipped with loadkeys (kbd-1.08 recompiled with include/linux/keyboard.h that comes with 2.6 kernel), things started work again. Is there a reason not to include the above "keycode 183" line in the shipped source (both defkeymap.map and defkeymap.c_shipped)? The 2.6 kernel without it can be seem as a feature degradation from 2.4 for 86/106 keyboard users, and I would like to know if there is a case where having that line hurts. Is "keycode 183" generated for completely different characters on other national keyboards, and having that line is a feature degradation for users of such keyboards? I have access to only 101, 86, and 106 keyboards so I cannot test this myself. Or maybe there are other reasons to leave the default keymap as minimal as it currently is in 2.6 tree?
