For this test, I used a laptop with a built-in emulated PS/2 keyboard and
mouse, and plugged in a USB keyboard. I do not dare yet to try 2.6.0-testN
on a small-size desktop which depends entirely on USB. The small-size
desktop provides BIOS emulation of a PS/2 keyboard from boot until the OS
detects USB devices. It does not provide any emulation of an i8042 chip.
(Windows NT4 blue-screens if I forget to disable its i8042 driver.) It
does not have PS/2 ports.

Back to the laptop used in this test. Since the built-in emulated PS/2
keyboard had some "?" events, I ran evtest on all devices. Sorry this
is still 2.6.0-test3. I wanted to finish this test before experimenting
with 2.6.0-test4. I already patched the 2.6.0-test3 keyboard map, so the
yen-sign pipe key produces input in both X11 and text consoles. The USB
problem is with the yen-sign or-bar key, which seems to produce events
properly, and which produces correct input under X11, but produces no
input to a plain text console. I wonder what needs patching for this.

In a plain text console, in the built-in emulated PS/2 keyboard, both the
yen-sign or-bar and backslash underbar keys are working because of the
patch. But in the USB keyboard, the yen-sign or-bar key is working while
the backslash underbar key yields no input.

First, here are results of running evtest under X11.

The emulated PS/2 mouse looks fine.

Here is the emulated PS/2 keyboard. I did not try all keys. In fact I
cannot try a number of keys which appear in the list but don't exist.
I did try the ones which are frequently mishandled, yen-sign or-bar and
backslash underbar.

Here is the external USB keyboard. I did not try all keys. In fact I
cannot try a number of keys which appear in the list but don't exist.
(Though the keyboard which I sent to Mike Fabian might really have some
of these, among its ton of funny extra buttons.) I did try the ones
which are frequently mishandled, yen-sign or-bar and backslash underbar.

Next I switched to a text-mode console and tested the same two keyboards.
The key codes seem to be the same.
