Jordan,

<<A bit of a chore, admittedly, but what I would probably do in this
situation is take one of the old Kbd Map templates and modify it
(since I can't "draw" worth a damn !) with the newly verified
scancodes for your model.  If anyone else does this, I'd suggest
these could make worthy uploads to Brian's site, particularly if
we got a decent representation of more recent models.  A list of
scancodes included would be good too.  Within a general line --
e.g., Asus EEE, Acer Aspire -- these would probably be consistent.>>

Not a bad idea. Shall we poll the keyboards out there amongst us?

That is exactly what I did for my Cherry keyboard. Keycode.exe returned
no code for some keys (such as print-screen), and returned numbers in
the 300 range which made no sense to me or to Xy for some keys (for
example, 325 for num-lock) but enough keys were correctly identified to
allow me to modify my kbd file to suit my needs.
