hmmm... very strange. i still do not understand how these changes can 
break anything. i will install 6.0-beta2 tomorrow on spare machine and 
will try to reproduce the problem. i've been running with these changes 
for a while now and did not have any problems. also (as far as i know) 
nobody else reported similar problem so far. btw, i have dell laptop 
that runs just fine.

could you please post dmesg output *with* /sys/dev/kbd/kbd* changes?
