 Hi,

 If I hit "f" and "g" at the text console at the same time, I see "fg" (or
 "gf") in the shell.  If I hit "r" and "t" together, or "y" and "u", I
 instead see one of the characters, or most often neither of them.  The
 keyboard allows some sets of two adjacent keys to be pressed together, but
 not others.

 This exhibited itself in Tamtam, where I can't play chords using some
 combinations of keys, even though the keys play notes individually --
 nothing is played with "rt" or "yu", but both notes are played together
 with other combinations.

 This is on a machine labeled "test kbd".  I think it's a B3 keyboard
 sample.
