With the samples that I've been able to talk people through testing on,
I'm seeing two scancode issues, but I'm not sure exactly where the problem
is.
The first one is that, as best as I can tell, the FN key sends a scancode,
but what it sends bears absolutely no relation to what the specs on the
teamwiki says it should. I've not been able to pin down exactly what it
has been sending though.
The second one is if anything a little more disturbing. The right grab
key is sending the proper scan code when you press it, but it's sending a
completely different release code, at least as far as I can tell. It
appears to be sending E0 85 on release, which is just broken.
If we could figure out what the fn key is actually sending it would help
on my end, but I don't expect us to manage to fix the right grab key for
B1, and I believe that it may be possible to work around the problem for
the moment.
