abnt2 kmap doesn't seem to have a keycode 97, so my guess would be
that it wouldn't be affected, but I don't have a real abnt2 to test
it. There's a thinkpad variant on X, though I don't really understand
how keyboard maps work on X. I'm not sure how relevant this is, but
here is my keyboard entry on xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "thinkpad"
Option "XkbLayout" "br"
Option "XkbVariant" "abnt2"
EndSection
