           Summary: Regression with handling the DEL key on Thinkpad X31
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: INSERT key no longer works in console on Thinkpad X31
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Console/Framebuffers
        AssignedTo: jsimmons at infradead.org

Latest working kernel version: 2.6.25.10
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.26
Distribution: Debian unstable
Hardware Environment: IBM Thinkpad X31
Software Environment: Debian unstable
Problem Description:

I'm running my system without X11 in a fbcon console. Since the update to
2.6.26 the INSERT key is no longer working properly. It seems to lead to a very
strange internal "lock": If INSERT is pressed, the arrow keys are no longer
accepted. If I press INSERT again, the arrow keys work again. This bug is
fairly annoying.
In X11 the INSERT key is handled properly. 2.6.25 works just fine. 

Steps to reproduce:
Run elinks with an arbitary web site; scroll a few lines up with the INSERT
key.
