Hi Trond,

It is not so good idea to fallback to syscons keymaps, because vt(4)
works with Unicode only char codes. So fallback will make input with
non-English characters - unreadable.

Instead of that fallback you can convert keymaps you can verify by
follow instructions in [1], then please check it and send it to list,
so me or someone else will commit it. 

Thank you for reports!
