Yes. It is an IBM PS/2 77s. My old olivetti keyboard only works with set 1
scancodes. I bought an IBM PS/2 keyboard that works on mode 2 but its
still the same. I am hacking at the keyboard code right now. Im beginning
to look at the i8042 code too. I will try to see if there is something
wrong with translation.

I will try setting i8042_direct to 1 so i could verify if there is a bug
in the i8042 driver. Im beginning to think this is a motherboard hardware
issue.   

I wonder if this keyboard works in mode 3. I will test that too.
