I have an annoying problem in that I can't seem to get the F1 key on my LK201
keyboard to do anything except generate ^Q/^S and toggle the "Hold Screen" LED.
(I can remap all the other keys I've tried OK.)

I'm running X11R3 on a VAXstation 2000 under Ultrix 2.2.

As far as my understanding goes, I need to get F1 to produce a unique Keycode
(i.e. 86) before I can use xmodmap on it.  However, as the following trace from
xev shows (obtained by pressing and releasing F1), the key is toggling between
the keycode pairs for Control_L+s and Control_L+q.

I tried grubbing around for a suitable ioctl without success, and a once-over
of the server source didn't uncover anything obvious.

Can anyone point out the obvious thing I must be missing?

		Thanks in advance,
