I, on the other hand, have worse results with pcvt than with pccons.
With pcvt I will start getting kernel error messages about timeouts when
pcvt wants to twiddle the keyboard LEDs. With one keyboard they occur
right from boot time, with another it starts after "a while".

I also get random keyboard lockups which are cleared by un/replugging
the keyboard. They usually happen under X.

(This was with 1.0 and still is with 1.2 on the production machine, and
1.3.2 on a test machine.)
