So far everyone who tried MEDIUM_RAW mode on PC said it worked fine, and that
he wanted to make it the default mode, but apparently that never happened ;-(

 Well, X11 seems to have quite an extensive knowledge of various keyboards
out there, so the advantage of using MEDIUM_RAW is epsilon.  OTOH, using
the RAW mode gives the X-server a possibility to fully control the
keyboard, beyond what is sufficient for the kernel for console operation. 
And all the world is not a PC (nor a VAX, which the LK201, etc. keyboards
might seem to imply ;-) ). 

I didn't want to imply the whole world is a PC, on the contrary ;-)

What I actually meant was `even on a PC', since CustomKeycodes was needed to
get non-PC keyboards working.
