Subject: keyboard handling on RiscPC is screwed up

One of the many idiosyncratic features that makes RiscPCs so appealing
is that, although they use standard PC keyboards, the keycodes that are
visible in userspace are completely different to the standard set (the
kernel does its own translation). See /usr/share/console/ps2-to-riscpc
for an example of how console-tools copes with this.
At present, an X server with XKB enabled will see a keymap that is so
hopelessly jumbled as to be unusable. Starting the server with "-xkb"
yields a configuration that works for the most part, though combinations
like Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-F1 don't appear to do anything very
useful which isn't completely satisfactory either.
I suppose the right thing to do is to ship an appropriate XKB keymap for
these machines, though I don't have a clue how one goes about generating
such a thing.
