There is also a keycode file for ps/2 based machines like PReP and CHRP,
called "powerpcps2". It is a workaround, the arrow keys and the page
up/down block are dead as example. I guess it is a kernel bug.

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.

Franz and me tried to find a solution a couple of weeks/months ago. The
codes above 0xe0 and above are not handled properly AFAIK.

Franz, can you remember that?
