Hi,

I have a "Microsoft Wired 600" keyboard and the numeric pad dot, ".", is not
working at all, neither on console or X.

I opened a thread on forum and someone come up with the same problem with a
ABNT2 layout keyboard, but different model/brand (MaxPrint):

https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/60148/#post-347878

It seem the numpad dot key is not generating a scan code and also have the
interrupts ignored.

I do not know if Media keys also belongs to the same bug report because it is a
hid device, but my specific keyboard have five XF86 keys (Play/Pause, Volume
Decrease, Volume Increase, Mute, and Calculator).

While trying to configure them using sysutils/uhidd I find out one of the media
keys randomly do not work after every boot (but the calculator, what always
work), apparently with the same problem as above, but, as said, on a random
Media key - and just one.

Also, some time ago I found another person on #freebsd with similar problem
with Media keys, but for that particular person it seem all XF86 keys working
do not work, however I do not know more details about keyboard model or layout.

PS. I am not sure about the right component to blame.

Thank you!
