odd keyboard issues...

[Josh Huber <huber@debian.org>]

Maybe this ought to be going to the x list, but I thought I'd check
here first.  I just upgraded to the 4.1.0-0pre1v5 packages available
on p.d.o/~branden and I'm having a problem with my meta key not
working.

Using xkeycaps I had generated the following a while back to use the
command key as Meta and the alt key as alt (duh).

keycode 0x85 =	Meta_L

add    Shift   = Shift_R
add    Control = Control_R
add    Mod1    = Alt_R
add    Mod3    = Meta_L
add    Mod5    = Scroll_Lock

btw, I'm on a Lombard powerbook.

after upgrading today, for some reason the keycode for meta changed
from 0x85 to 0x73, which (according to my xkeycaps setup) is the
keycode for what end (fn-right arrow) used to be.

pretty strange.  is this a transient thing, or something else?
(configuration issue, perhaps?)

The only output in the log is a statement to the effect that the
keyboard is being handled by the legacy driver.

below is my XF86Config-4:
