i looked at that source (sincerely, this is the first time i look into
the linux sources! :)

int setkeycode(unsigned int scancode, unsigned int keycode)
{
...
    list_for_each(node,&kbd_handler.h_list) {
        struct input_handle *handle = to_handle_h(node);
        if (handle->dev->keycodesize) {
            dev = handle->dev;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (!dev)
        return -ENODEV;


here i try to change scandodes for a keycode, but the the kernel says
ENODEV.
$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices   says me:

I: Bus=0010 Vendor=001f Product=0001 Version=0100
N: Name="PC Speaker"
P: Phys=isa0061/input0

H: Handlers=kbd event3
B: EV=13
B: KEY=1 0 10000 17a 800c000 e0000 0 0 0
B: MSC=10


that handler "kbd" is the one that should receive the scancodes?
maybe the kernel can't get the device for that keyboard? or we miss a
scancode table?

sorry for my being so newbie ;)
ciao!
