   Any idea how to find out what sort of keyboard is in use?  It's just a
   matter of xmodmap to fix this, but it *should* be dealt with
   automatically - and if I can sense the keyboard type, it will be.

I don't think that the keyboards really make much difference.  On an '030
system with the old keyboard, running 2.0, try out Shift-(keypad)= and
shift-(keypad)/.  Right!  They yield | and \, resp.

So, my guess would be to support the shifted-(keypad)= and /, _and_
the main keyboard |\.  On the new machines, this won't hurt a thing,
as there's not a keyboard |\.

Unless I miss the point?

Later,
