The patch

Hello. I've noticed, that bhyve (at least when it works in conjunction with=
 VNC
client) does not understand *lock and keypad keys and prints debug messages
like "Unhandled ps2 keyboard keysym". Suggesting a patch which seems to fix=
 the
problem.

Also, can you please explain what uint32_t keysym codes are? The first 127 =
of
them seem to be ASCII codes and translation table contain ASCII->PS/2 set 2
scancode mappings. But why TAB,ESC and some other symbols are coded with
leading 0xff? For example, TAB is 0xff09. How keysyms are generated for *lo=
ck
and Keypad keys?

Nevertheless, I wrote the patch using the mentioned debug output.
