[PLUG] keyboard mapping change

[Denis Heidtmann]

showkey -a
for the left key of interest:
<   60 0074 0x3c
for  the right key of interest:
\   92 0134 0x5c

There is also xev:

For the left key:
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001,
    root 0x261, subw 0x0, time 2468220, (18,-5), root:(1517,42),
    state 0x10, keycode 94 (keysym 0x3c, less), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001,
    root 0x261, subw 0x0, time 2468668, (18,-5), root:(1517,42),
    state 0x10, keycode 94 (keysym 0x3c, less), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (3c) "<"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

For the right key:
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001,
    root 0x261, subw 0x0, time 2474140, (18,-5), root:(1517,42),
    state 0x10, keycode 51 (keysym 0x5c, backslash), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (5c) "\"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (5c) "\"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001,
    root 0x261, subw 0x0, time 2474396, (18,-5), root:(1517,42),
    state 0x10, keycode 51 (keysym 0x5c, backslash), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (5c) "\"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

These results do not seem to say the same thing.  Confusion.
