Hmm, I think the problem is that 2.0 GENERIC doesn't have neccessary
options enabled. Add these options to your kernel config:
# compatibility to other console drivers
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_PCVT # emulate some ioctls
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_SYSCONS # emulate some ioctls
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_USL # VT handling
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD # can get raw scancodes
SY, Uwe
