ukbd & Console Scrollback

Hi,

I have an Apple Pro USB Keyboard, but for the life of me I cannot get 
the system console scrollback to work (ie. scroll lock, then pgup/pg 
down).    I'm running CURRENT, though I also had this problem under 
5.3-p2.

The Apple Pro Keyboard has no Scroll-lock key (instead it has 
F13/F14/F15 where SysRq/Scrl Lock/Pause would be), but I looked online 
and I _believe_ the F14 key has the same scancode as scroll lock.

A few questions:

1) Does this work for anyone?  (ie. is this a problem with all USB 
keyboards?)

2) Is there a way to find out what scan code is being emitted when I 
hit a certain key?

3) If (1) isn't the case, any idea how to get this working?  I suppose 
I could create a layout that redefines scroll lock to a different key, 
or correct the keymap if the F14 scancode != scrl lock.   What fun.

Thanks for your help.

- Max
