Is that ppkb-i2c-inputd from the keyboard utilities? It's the only thing I see in that package that seems to be related to keyboard input but the description of that the FAQ says it's used to get the keyboard working in Linux distributions that don't have a driver for it.
Yes, ppkb-i2c-inputd. More info on the Mobian wiki here: https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php...-case-ppkc
I haven't tried other distros, but on Mobian using the kb151 driver from the kernel, while the keyboard basically works, you cannot type F1-F10. With ppkb-i2c-inputd, that's the PINE key plus a number key. Also the shift-Fn-numberkey combinations don't produce the right characters for me (right as in, matching what's printed on the keys) with the kb151 driver. They do with the inputd. And, with inputd, it's not shift-Fn-numberkey, it's just Fn-numberkey.
