OK, same keys as for me then. Those are the two affected by the ISO key
swapping thing.

It's automatic. I have this here:
Dec 13 13:53:28 pooh kernel: adb devices: [2]: 2 c4 [3]: 3 1 [7]: 7 1f
Dec 13 13:53:28 pooh kernel: ADB keyboard at 2, handler 1
Dec 13 13:53:28 pooh kernel: Detected ADB keyboard, type ISO, swapping keys.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Dec 13 13:53:28 pooh kernel: input1: ADB HID on ID 2:2.c4
Dec 13 13:53:28 pooh kernel: input2: ADB HID on ID 7:7.1f
Dec 13 13:53:28 pooh kernel: ADB mouse at 3, handler set to 4 (trackpad)
This has worked for as long as I remember in all 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. I
have not tried 2.6... maybe something's broken there?
Cheers
