[PATCH] input / keyboard / Scancode Set 3 support broken
If somebody uses keyboard scancode set 3 it is necessary to explicitly program the keyboard to send make/break codes for all keys and to set autorepeat for all keys. This is critical for some people. One example is the LK461/46W series of keyboards from Digital Equipment Corporations. These are VMS keyboards that are also usable on a normal PC. These keyboards support Scancode Set 2, but for some keys this support is screwed up -- some function keys (e.g. F18/F20) report the same scancode sequence combined with both alt and shift keys. Scancode Set 3 works perfectly if all keys are programmed to give make/break codes. A lot of keyboards manufactured by Cherry only make/break for some (not all!) modifyer keys in scancode set 3 without this fix.
