It does. In fact, I've ripped the ps2 keyboard off my Athlon machine
(it's my main desktop box so it's *really* used) and now, I'm only
running off a LK401.
X11 works as expected, using the pc105 keyboard layout (remember, all
keyboards now emit i386-style keycodes, scancodes are generated from
those and are no directly passed directly when running in raw mode).
One last nitpick: lk201 doesn't have an Alt key, so you can (currently)
only change consoles if you remap eg. Compose (which is where you'd
expect the Alt key) to Alt. Of course, I'd just exchange Alt and
Compose...
