 The Fn key on mechanical keyboards becomes = (equals) on XO-1.75 B1's in X
 Windows and the operating system.

 Setting /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to match the data found on an XO-1.5 with
 mechanical keyboard (since olpc-configure cannot do that yet) does not
 solve the problem, although it does solve the problem with AltGr not
 working.

 Open Firmware's keyboard test can uniquely identify the Fn key by location
 without issue, and does not treat it as the = key.
