KGI has currently nothing to do with rs232 ports, unless Steffen added
support recently, which I doubt he has since he hasn't been working
on input code lately.  This is indicative of a rather funky smelling bug.

"Feature", not bug.  It will stay this way until parameters are added
to allow the system administrator to decide what keys cannot be 
taken away from the console system.

If you had to link these by hand, then the kernel patch probably failed,

find linux/ -name \*.rej and fix the failed hunks.

It doesn't.  The boot driver is just a console system.  You need a 
full driver for GGI.
