The linux kernel developpers are actually not a new phenomena. They have
been described in great detail in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy) under
the name of "Sirius Cybernetics Corporation"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius_Cybernetics_Corporation). I
discovered this truth some time ago when the idiots changed something in
the kernel and broke Kylix's debugger. Please refer to the Guide for
possible solutions to the problem.

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.
I must admit, kernel developers do a really good job to piss off people,
we can't do better.
