Paul,

The tosa keyboard (including the Fn key) works perfect from both kernel 
and X config perspectives.

The only place it fails is in minimo. So I'm pretty sure something's 
wrong with the key-code interpretation in minimo. Since the "Fn" key is 
non-standard anyway, I don't want to slap the fault to minimo in the 
bugtracker. I wanted to grab Hrw on irc and ask him whether he hacked 
something special during compilation, before filing bug report or doing 
more investigation on this. Paul, you've got to let me breathe!
