Some of the keys may not have keycodes assigned to their scancodes. You'll |
| 29 |
need to use 'setkeycodes' to assign keycodes to them. Have a look at the man |
| 30 |
page. |

|
| 32 |
I'm pretty sure that your logs will contain messages telling you about keys |
| 33 |
without scancodes so checkout vt12 as you're pressing the keys. |
