I only tried exkeys, and the scancodes were just like he said (and i
ended up being completely stuck in the "Hit F6, stupid!" screen :P - not
even ctrl-alt-end helped).. had to switch to another VT and kill -9 it.

Well, we dropped the signals version (and the DOS port?). But I wasn't
really serious. It's just, to me linux console seems to be a worse OS

switching back to X).
