Hello,

After upgrading from FreeBSD 5.4 to 6.1, backslash/underscore key on
Japanese 106/109 keyboard, which resides left of Rshift key, cannot be
used any more.

Without kbdmux, the key works well.

Japanese 106/109 PS/2 keyborad has no problem. This problem is USB only.



Here is a patch. This worked for me.
