And which kernel is this patch against? It is not evident from the
contents?

It failed miserably when I applied it against 2.0.25. (5 out of 7
hunks failed or something like that). But I was able to patch it by
hand easily enough. It looks like your patch first takes OUT some
changes for raw keyboard entry that have been added since 2.0.25
and then adds IN your own changes.

All I had to do was edit the -'s out of your patch. I didn't have the
lines to - out. I guess that your patch was against a 2.1.* kernel
since I can't imagine raw keyboard entry being mucked about with
between 2.0.25 and 2.0.29, which is the other possibility.
