It's the key with keycode 0, right? On most architectures keycode 0 is ignored,
we had an #ifdef to enable it. Perhaps someone reverted the code
(drivers/char/vt.c, I think).

Note that according to Andries Brouwer there exists a security problem if you
allow keycode 0, so alternatively you can remap it to an unused keycode number
in the Amiga keyboard driver. The disadvantage of that solution is that all
keymaps in all distros have to be modified as well.
