37 You are 100% correct. The 2.6 kernel do have a driver for my case.

51 yes I do have set up 2.6 system running (so far, most things works, only
52 small features failed and I am still fixing them, not have to because of
53 2.6 kernel but probably my misconfiguration of 2.6 kernel)
54
55 When keys gets messed up, I removed keymap from boot run-level, and both
56 keyboards begin to work fine. I don't know if this has a lot of
57 difference then re-configuring keymap in /etc/conf.d/keymap
