        Thanks, Bruce.  I plugged in an external keyboard, and the usb keyboard 
works 
fine.  My keyboards are US, based on the layout I found here --> 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#United_States.

        Here's the different outputs from showkey -a:

        *Laptop keyboard (pgdn)
                Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

                         27 0033 0x1b
                        91 0133 0x5b
                        50 0062 0x32
                        57 0071 0x39
                        126 0176 0x7e
                        27 0033 0x1b
                        91 0133 0x5b
                        54 0066 0x36
                        126 0176 0x7e
                        4 0004 0x04

        *USB keyboard
                Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program
                        27 0033 0x1b
                        91 0133 0x5b
                        54 0066 0x36
                        126 0176 0x7e
                        4 0004 0x04

        My laptop keyboard still does the wrong thing.

        I'm can't say that I know exactly what I'm looking at, but, I think I 
see 
some of the keys being shown twice???  Thank you.
