keycode above 127

[Timo Benk <t_benk@web.de>]

Hi,

I'm trying to use some special keys on my keyboard but I can't get it to work.

I added the following two lines to my /etc/console-tools/default.kmap.gz:
----<snip>----
keycode 145 = TEST

string TEST = "echo test"
----<snap>----

and i removed the "keymaps" line. If i try to reload my keytable the following
error message appears, but only if the keycode value is bigger than 127:

/etc/init.d/keymaps-lct.sh restart output:
----<snip>----
Loading /etc/console-tools/default.kmap
loadkeys: /etc/console-tools/default.kmap:272: killkey called with bad index 145
----<snap>----

xev output:
----<snip>----
KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1a00001,                     
root 0x26, subw 0x0, time 957286301, (94,47), root:(225,200),              
state 0x0, keycode 145 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,            
XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""         
----<snap>----

I think the problem is something with 7bit chars and 8bit ones, but i don't 
know.
