Intresting, I was playing with loadkeys and here the results:
1) I removed the init script for a moment and rebooted into Linux Shift+F6
worked perfectly.
2) Then I manually entered loadkeys with all it's combinations, various
different Keymaps, default, us, de and so on even different command line
parameters and they all remove the higher Shift+Fx keys.
This really sucks specially if you depend on a germany keyboard layout. To
make sure I'm not referencing to old stuff here I would like to point out
that I'm using this http://lct.sourceforge.net/ package to load german
keymaps and like to verify if this is what you and others use as well or are
there any new packages on different locations that I'm missing here.
This package seem to be outdated for 4 years now and I wouldn't wonder if the
keymaps used in the datapackages doesn't match the ones from the Kernel
anymore. Any ideas ?
