 Well, X11 seems to have quite an extensive knowledge of various keyboards
out there, so the advantage of using MEDIUM_RAW is epsilon.  OTOH, using
the RAW mode gives the X-server a possibility to fully control the
keyboard, beyond what is sufficient for the kernel for console operation. 
And all the world is not a PC (nor a VAX, which the LK201, etc. keyboards
might seem to imply ;-) ).
