There is also a keycode file for ps/2 based machines like PReP and CHRP,

So prefixed scancodes don't work? Sounds familiar. I guess this has something
to do with the X server putting the keyboard in RAW mode (send raw scancodes,
including prefixes) instead of MEDIUMRAW mode (send keycodes, 1 code for each
key pres/release) or vice versa.
