After switching to Linux keycodes (and Debian's i386 us keymap),
the left cursor key doesn't generate a keycode anymore.
Interestingly, it works in X with Xkb, but not without.

Anyone else sees this?

Check the dev and user archives, I think this has been discussed a
few times since the new input layer backport went in.

I've searched the archives now with no luck.

I haven't seen this discussed, but I'll try a wild guess: What's
suspicious is that the linux keycode for KEY_LEFT is 105=0x69, the same
as the old mac keycode for SYSRQ_KEY. You could easily verify this by
pressing LEFT plus s or t or something and see whether it does some
emergency sync or whatever. Just a guess.

But a good one! That's exactly the issue. I wonder how it has worked with
Xkb in X though...

As Magic Sysrq seems to always use ADB keycodes anyway, I'll not use it for
now.

Do you have by any chance a CHRP machine?

No. (Look at the subject ;)

I haven't touched chrp_setup.c yet. If not, what exact kernel are you using?

2.4.0-test8 rsynced from bk-devel some days ago.

BTW, there will be a new xf4 RPMs available soon.

It worked fine (why?) in the X from the test debs, which contain your X stuff
AFAIK.
