There is also the issue of learning enough about how the system is meant
to work to be able to write a useful problem description that gives experts
a clue as to what might have gone wrong.

Please never ever just write "does not work" in a problem report.
Instead, please describe in detail
a) what exactly I must do on my SuSE 9.2 box here (where I had no
problems with the floppy disk or keyboard mapping support
so far) to reproduce the effect you were unsatisfied with;
b) what changes did you make to your environment (config files, etc.)
that might affect the outcome;
b) what exactly you were hoping should be happen instead.
Considering how complex keyboard mapping has become under X11 (3-4
mechanisms layered on top of each other), none of the two things are in
any way obvious to me from reading your description.
