Did they restore the old "broken" key mapping then, or | is there some temporary patch in place?

Well, the -mm4/2.6.2-rc2 patch (finally) works on everything I've tested on (x86 and sparc). Probably best to try it yourself and send fan mail to our good friends at SuSE if it's still broken... ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.1/2.6.1-mm4/broken-out/keyboard-scancode-fixes.patch -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
