capslock fix for powerbooks

[Josh Huber <huber@debian.org>]

There are several messages in the archive about this fix -- is anyone
using it successfully?  I'm trying it out with 2.4.19-presomething,
and it doesn't seem to do the trick.  Is this the most up to date
version of said hack (below)?  I'm using a Lombard, btw.

Just thought I'd ask before trying to fix it myself...
