Changes (by kweidner):

  * priority:  normal => high


Comment:

 I can confirm that the rocker/game keys are buggy with firmware q2d09, and
 I didn't have problems with the g1g1 shipped firmware so I don't think
 it's a problem with the keys themselves.

 How to reproduce:

 - in Write, start typing normally. Once you hit the rocker key, that key
 gets stuck on autorepeat permanently

 - boot into OpenFirmware

 - at the ok prompt: test /keyboard

 - test pressing a normal key (such as "space"), confirm that the on-screen
 key turns light blue only briefly

 - press the rocker or a game key, and the on-screen key stays light blue
 and never turns off. (These keys don't have direct screen representation,
 the on-screen keys that light up are 2/8 and 4/8 of the middle slider key,
 Erase, and the "L" key)

 - after pressing all 4 rocker directions and all game keys, no other keys
 react, including ESC, and I need to power off to get out of the test


 Raising priority to "high", a flaky keyboard makes the machine largely
 unusable.
