And Zwane Mwaikambo answered and asked:
Do these keys correspond to the correct ones on your keyboards? I still have to come across a keyboard which has these keys but different scancodes. But i think i'm beating a dead horse ;)
My collection of scancode data can be found at http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes.html In particular you see at http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-1.html#ss1.9 that having power saving keys with scancodes e0 followed by 5e/5f/63 is a Microsoft standard. Every modern keyboard that has power saving keys has them with these scancodes.
So, I have no real objections against your patch. (On the other hand, this is an area that is perhaps best regarded as frozen. Changes just to avoid the trouble of a setkeycodes call should perhaps be postponed.)
