Hello,
Apparently someone suddenly got a good idea that you need to be root to
reprogram the keyboard, and got a patch merged into the Linux kernel:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=0b360adbdb54d5b98b78d57ba0916bc4b8871968
The result is that the keyboard unit is no longer able to catch keys like
escape, shift+tab alt+F1..F12 etc. on the Linux console. This affects the
Free Pascal IDE and any other program using the keyboard unit.
Daniël
