           Summary: Keycodes for PrintScreen and SysRq
           Product: xorg
           Version: CVS_head
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Input/Keyboard
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: otaylor at redhat.com


PrintScreen and SysRequest==Alt+PrintScreen should give the same
keycode since they are the same physical key. This was fixed about
a year ago with the following code in xf86PostKbdEvent():

  if (scanCode == KEY_SysReqest)
    scanCode = KEY_Print;
  else if (scanCode == KEY_Break)
    scanCode = KEY_Pause;

And the shippe XKB files expect this to be the case. But now the
keys are reporting different keycodes again, so the above code
is not getting run or not working as expected.
