 |  So why does your patch differ from the OpenBSD scancodes?
 
 I have not a real answer yet. First I mapped more keys than in OpenBSD:
 the L keys plus the Help, Power, AudioMute et al. keys.
 
 Second, I'll check with Matthieu Herrb and try to understand where the
 OpenBSD scancode come from. What he told me at the moment is that there
 is a magic offset of 8 that is added sowhere between ukbd and xkb...
 
 I'll keep you informed as soon as I have a more precise answer.
