I'm trying to assign keycodes using the kbd package. Multimedia keys
and some regular keys. Here is one example. The key I'm pressing is
e05e.

~# showkey
kb mode was XLATE

press any key (program terminates 10s after last keypress)...
keycode 116 press
keycode 116 release

~# getkeycodes
Plain scancodes xx (hex) versus keycodes (dec)
0 is an error; for 1-88 (0x01-0x58) scancode equals keycode

0x58: 88 54 28 27 0 43 0 0
0x60: 85 86 90 91 92 93 14 94
0x68: 95 79 0 75 71 121 0 123
0x70: 82 83 80 76 77 72 1 69
0x78: 87 78 81 74 55 73 70 99

Escaped scancodes e0 xx (hex)

The same thing happens with every key. I've tried every config option
that seems even remotely related to keyboards and nothing changes. It's
detected as:

input: AT Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1

It's a PS2 keyboard attached via PS2/AT adapter. The actual changes I'm
trying to make are the same ones I've been using through all of 2.4 and
2.5
