I tend to use 24-bit.

I haven't looked at this, but your thought that the keyboard maps are
different sounds plausible.  I've found that there are a few missing
keys on the adb keyboard, too (i.e., that give keycode 0).

Hmmm...  I haven't seen this.  I haven't used the usb keyboard since I
installed, though.

Be careful doing this!  We don't have great power management yet and the
system gets Really Hot with the lid closed--I left it running overnight
with the lid closed and there are a few spots on the screen where it
looks like the heat damaged the screen a little bit (i.e., I can kind of
see what looks like the outline of the gap between keys in a few places...).

Cool.  I haven't tried that.

This is something I want to get working.  I've just been too swamped
to think about it lately.
