I also have a problem with 2.6.12-rcX and ps/2 keyboard.  I would say it's
the same key we're talking about.  It does not work at the console nor in X
(showkey at the console does not see it).  It works with a USB keyboard.  My
"compose" is mapped to the menu key beside the right windows key.

I do wish they'd fix it, because I use this key (kinda like another ALT key)
more than my compose key (again, the menu key, not the right win logo key)
