Some TX boards dont init the keyboard controller properly as far as Linux
is concerned. I sent linus a diff for this but it wasnt one he accepted or
got buried in other stuff

in pc_keyb.c find the following

#ifndef __i386__
#define INIT_KBD
#endif

and remove the ifndef / endif and it will work. Quite a few TX boards need
this.
