The LINT file in STABLE (and every release I could find) includes this
note:
# This PCVT option is for keyboards such as those used on IBM ThinkPad laptops
options         PCVT_SCANSET=2          # IBM keyboards are non-std

I run 4.1 on a ThinkPad 600E and have never had any problem even
though this option is commented out. The only reference to it in the
pcvt(4) man page is that there is an integer to store it in the pcvtinfo
structure.

Does anyone know if this is still needed and, if so, what is broken
without it? I believe that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but I'm
not sure that nothing is broken and that it won't bite me when I'm
trying to fix some other problem and have to use console mode.
