FWIW: this is the keyboard part of my X config on a blade 100 with type 6 USB:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
All normal pc-style keys work as expected as well as meta or hyper (or what ever
that key next to space is called) and compose. Volume up/down and mute work too.
I believe even some of the keys to the left work, although I'm not entirely sure
and I can't verify now.
