This keyboard has two "backslash + bar" keys, one of which
is located next to the RETURN key.
The backslash key always worked fine in 2.4.x, but in 2.6.x
and 2.6.0, the scancode reported by showkey is "84", which is
usually associated with the "Prevconsole" function in most
keymaps.
Editing the keymap fixes the problem, but of course this must
be a bug in the kernel driver. I compared the 2.4.23 version
of kbdmap.c with 2.6.0, but didn't find any obvious reason for
this difference.
I have the same problem with a Logitech cordless desktop.
I can easily change the keycode to generate the right characters when in console-mode, but XFree gives that key and the Print Screen key the same keycode.
After changing the xmodmap I can get the unmodified character, but modifiers doesn't work, it just gives me the same character not matter what modifier I use (shift, alt, alt_gr etc.)
