Well, I'm not _too_ sure, but from what I saw in X sources, it internaly converts it into mediumraw anyway, and conversion is done in such way that if you feed it with mediumraw directly, it will not hurt.

Ugh. How does it work with linux? drivers/char/keyboard.c has assumption of <128 characters... drivers/sbus/sunkbd.c has that assumption, also. And I've strong feeling that we should merge those two sources... Sparc has goodies we don't have, and i386 layer is cleaner as lowlevel is separated.
